All this to say, after keying out with the NC TX flower, I am disappointed to find my yard full of dayflowers appears to be full of the invasive, non-native version.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe we can get you some native seeds. I will watch for you.
Thank you!!

Hmm..I thought the white third petal IDed it as whitemouthed dayflower, which is Commelina erecta. I’ll check the BRIT Flora again. Put it out on iNaturalist.
Yes, just checked. Based on your photos this does look like C. communis. Aarrgghh.
Thanks for confirming for me though!! Good to know before I gradually continue to replace it
Mine in Norman are also C. communis. I think that’s the most common one around here.
Thanks for that information!
