Musk thistle or Bull thistle?
Could it be an escaped pet? How long could a Cobalt Blue survive in the wild in Texas?
I found this site that has one photo of a spider the same as the one you spotted- but I cannot tell if it is similar. Perhaps their index will help you ID this. http://www.sntc.org.sz/biodiversity/sdsp...
How cool to see that in action!
This is beautiful...
Thank you Ashley.
the second photo is columbine. Aquilegia is the latin. You may need to make this 2 different spottings, because they are not the same type of plant.
Black Widow
Thank you for the ID Ashley.
