Field Guide Friday: Winecup (Callirhoe involucrata) 🌾 Winecup, also known as Purple Poppy Mallow, is a low-growing perennial native to Texas prairies. Its vibrant magenta, cup-shaped flowers bloom profusely from March through June, adding a splash of color to open fields and meadows. Habitat: Prairies, open woodlands, and rocky hills Bloom Season: March – June Fun Fact: Winecup's deep taproot allows it to thrive in dry, rocky soils and makes it highly drought-tolerant. Learning to recognize native plants helps us better understand the plants unique to our region and their important role in maintaining a healthy environment. #FieldGuideFriday #Winecup #CallirhoeInvolucrata #TexasPrairie #NativePlants #NPAT #PrairieConservation #texas #prairie (fb)
