Taken from the link above- "It was named for its very shiny seeds that have an appearance of a looking glass or tiny mirrors. Venus’ looking glass mainly blooms from spring to early summer and grows in full sun, in mostly well-drained soils. It reproduces best in areas with sparse or low vegetation and are native to most of North America. Texas has all seven species of Venus’ looking glass known in the United States. No matter what region of the state you live in, you will likely come across this showy member of the bluebell family (Campanulaceae). The most prolific Venus’ looking glass in Texas is the clasping Venus’ looking glass (Triodanis perfoliata), which can be found in a variety of Texas habitats including tallgrass prairies."
