[Leica] Wednesday Weeds

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  We begin with a native survivor plant; bluebonnets.
These are a volunteer bunch that grew from blown seeds or birds:

Another volunteer group from unknown sources:

A true survivor, dandelions have gone from bloom to seed after the freeze:

A trait for survival in varied conditions is staged blooming and seed
times; some may get frozen or rained out but earlier or later seed stages
will help with survival:

Another survivor is this plant; nothing above ground before the freeze and
this almost bloom within a week:

all the best.
