Pink Gaura, Guara lindheimeri

One of my favorite Texas native plants, Pink Gaura , blooms with this exquisite flower. Many people say that these white and pink blossoms perched on top of thin stems resemble fluttering butterflies. I agree.

The root resembles a white carrot. I just dug it up one day to see what it looked like. Just curious.

A very easy plant to grow so far. This plant seemed to stay evergreen throughout the whole year. Some of the others in the yard did not. I am now growing these in the front yard.

Curious happenings with a 2 year old Gaura. One day it just dried up and died. I have not had any problems with this plant. Anyone have any ideas as to why this happened?
