The listing, Day flower seed. A Texas wild flower has ended.
Seeds hand gathered be me this morning.
these started as a wild flower in my yard and through gathering of seeds and transplanting, I now have them in all my flower beds, even the ones I could not grow anything in before.
They are a wonderful self seeding addition to your garden. they will continue to come back year after year and all you need to do is enjoy there sweet little faces :)
Here is some info I found for you about them:

Comments: The flowers bloom for only one day, wilting into a moist, blue mass after a few hours. The flower can last longer on cloudy days or in shady settings. The genus Commelina was named for members of the 18th century Dutch family Commelyn. The 2 upper petals are said to represent the 2 brothers who were famous botanists. The lower petal, almost unnoticeable, represents a third brother who died young, before accomplishing anything in botany.
