Well, I declare!
I open the valve on the far-field water trough and I nonchalantly look around the ground, thinking, There are no new wildflowers about.
I am wrong Three new wild flowers come to my view.
Well, I declare, my Aunt Lennie used to say.

What’s that blue one called? When I was a kid we called it “elephant’s ears”.
I will look it up. I posted this in the field on my iPhone. Thanks for your quick comment. I was still under the pecan tree.
I’m not for sure. I have a backlog of identifications. Not enough hours in the day it seems.
I’ll just keep calling it elephant’s ears then!
Yes, let’s. You may have read I am on the search for fogfruit. Elephant’s ears seems correct, Mandala56. I may have identified it two years ago, so I’ll search my own blog. Hope all is well with you.
Thanks, Jack. It’s not a very pressing question, I was just curious to know whether my name for it was a regional name or whether it was widely recognized. If it has a scientific name, I’d never remember it anyway!
I can remember the common name much better. So colorful, too.
