Geranium pusillum
Inconspicuous in some of the regularly mowed areas around the old pecan orchard, which is probably why I had not seen them until now since I rarely walk through the heavily mowed parts of the park. Though I don't believe this shows up on BONAP for the county, I have heard that it has been collected in the county in recent years.
The defining characteristic for this Geranium in the literature is that it has only five fertile anthers, but in looking at just a handful of flowers on this day I found more variation than that. The main flower photos here show five anthers with perhaps another two yet to open. I added a couple of flower photos from other plants as well, one showing a number of staminodes on the outer whorl and another showing a flower that clearly has six anthers.
The photos are not my best work, but unfortunately I had somewhere else to be.

Had to make a very necessary shopping trip to grocery store and a Walmart in a "big city". Traveled the long way down a couple of county roads before hitting the highway to see what there might be to see. Any opportunity to iNat!

Mighty hot and pretty windy, but Monahans blacklighting was still wonderful. I had about 3 stations set up in the sand dunes and quite a few really interesting critters showed up.
Still some work to do on ID's -- will spend more time on these after I upload.

Balmorhea State Park is still closed, so I did a little blacklighting around the margins. Lots of bugs showed up, although it was mighty windy...
Still working on ID's on these too.
