I found a bunch of these flowers during a trip to McKinney Falls State Park with one of my photography friends. We were there specifically to capture the spring crop of Texas Wildflowers. Photographing the False Dayflower was a priority for me as I had not photographed this flower before.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0common name for this flower\u00a0is the False Dayflower but\u00a0it is also known as Widow&#8217;s-Tears. This plant\u00a0species is related to the Mexican Wandering Jew (Tinantia pringlei) and it is known only from Texas except for a single specimen from the Mexican state of Durango. You will find it mostly\u00a0on rocky slopes, ravines, and the edges of woodlands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160407-mckinney-falls-state-park-158.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8617\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/false-dayflower\/false-dayflower-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/20160407-mckinney-falls-state-park-158.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
