    The flowers are quite amazing and the fence makes a nice backdrop to them. Pam

    Those flowers would have caught my eye as well. They are not a flower native to Texas so I cannot help you. Some sort of weed. Great accent to the fence.

    The roadside flowers are lovely but so is that big big fence as a wonderful back drop. Great shot!

    Nice pic of fence and Red Hot Pokers. So called because they resemble (wait for it) red hot pokers. Cheers

    Thanks for the linky party! This week I chose a woven wire fence on our farm. It was put up to create a 18 x 70 dog pen, but we left the dogs in it only once. (I think it was separation anxiety - on my part LOL) We may use it for chickens this summer.

    Great photo. I have never seen Kniphofia growing wild before. Are they a native species over there or escapees from a garden.

    Looks like you got your answer already! I've never seen those here, but they look great against that weathered grey fence.

    Red hot pokers! We have loads in the garden, very easy to grow- split them in the Spring and you have lots of plants. The sparrows love the seeds!
