Found in grassy area near back of building at GCBO near Buffalo Camp Bayou

Made some observations while waiting for my grandson's one act play practice to be over.

Roadside, wet ditch

These have been under my feet this entire time? All are past flowering stage while the Tomostima platycarpa are fruiting and flowering.

This seems the likely species based on some of the info I've seen.

With extra petal

This T. platycarpa has mostly branched trichomes up near the fruits.

Right of center. T. cuneifolia and T. platycarpa sympatric.

The only ones I have seen at this particular spot. Definitely didn't have the right lens on for macro work.

Leafy stems photo taken about six weeks earlier.

Small plants six inches tall or less.

Found on a frequently mowed roadside, where abundant, and placed in a pot and observed over about six weeks.

Lawn weed, most common in less frequently mowed areas. The last two photos (fruit) photographed in May 2011.

Plants photographed over several years in a weedy area of a lawn.

Seeds become mucilaginous when wet.
