"Wildflowers at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden"
September 2001

This photo was taken at the splendid Umlauf Sculpture Garden near Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. The landscaping and maintenance of the park are both impeccable. There were a few large and showy plants in bloom the day I took this photo but the best of my photos were of these tiny flowers growing out of a crack in a retaining wall.

[Update 02-22-06] I have recently learned that this flower is almost certainly a Violet Woodsorrel (Oxalis Violacea.)
