The Brown-eyed Susanis a very plentiful wildflower in Texas. It generally pops up in pastures and along roadsides sometime shortly after bluebonnet season like early May and blooms pretty continuously until late-October or early-November. It's bright yellow clumps brighten up the roadsides most of the summer. This one was photographed in Austin on the side of Capital of Texas highway in late-April 2001.
