The Yellow Star is a beautiful flower that blooms through most of Texas in the spring. The plant grows to about 2 feet tall and generally contains several blossoms. This particular specimen was photographed between Llano and Lake Buchanan, where many were mixed into a field of bluebonnets. There is a photo of that field in the scenics gallery on this site.
