Winecup

Callirhoe involucrata

Malvaceae Purple Red

Winecups are a favorite Texas wildflower, adding their deep rich color to spring roadsides nearly throughout the state except for the Trans-Pecos deserts. They are low, sprawling or trailing perennials, so the leaves and stems are often mixed in with the other roadside plants.
