Each plant sends up a solitary flower, golden-yellow with a darker center, following summer and autumn rain; leaves appear when the bloom is over. Best planted in groups. Native to Texas, where it grows in moist low-lying areas, as well as other areas surrounding the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. Ours bloomed first as second-year plants, in late June after some thunderstorms broke a period of hot dry weather.
