The flowers emerge singly from the leaf axils. The individual flowers are 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and have 5 fan-shaped, notched, lopsided petals. The leaves have scalloped edges and are hairy, dark green, and lanceolate to rounded in shape. The stems are hairy, prostrate, and often reddish brown in color.
Habitat:
Miller Springs Park is a 360-acre park located below Belton Lake, on the Leon River, in Bell County, Texas. It contains diverse riparian terrain, including limestone bluffs, estuarial wetlands, mountain cedar hilltops, and riverside cottonwood stands. Numerous trails traverse prairie-like open spaces and forests of native cedar elm, live oak, and red oaks. Recent floods have created a new canyon that reveals numerous layers of sedimentary rock and fossils. Area wildlife includes white-tail deer, red foxes, coyotes, black squirrels, armadillos, and about 200 species of birds in the course of the year.
