Another Texas Wildflower

While roaming around in a wooded area I found this flower, which was both unusual and a new one for/to me.
Tried several exposure triangle combination and this was the best close up.

Not sure, might not be a Native. Looks like cultivated flowers (also in several other colors) I've seen in California. Texas is interesting, kinda unique, and problematic for plant and bird identification as Texas has a mixture of Western and Eastern species plus a few Texas only (Endemic) Natives.
"Lady Bird" Johnson was fanatical about Texas Wildflowers and did much to promote and conserve them. Yes, possibly odd a Californian would know that but I am interested in nature in general and it was common knowledge back when LBJ was president.

So true. We have the Wildflower Center here, which, as you know, was named for Lady Bird.
Thanks for the comments.

It's Plumbago. Used to have some in my yard in S. Fla.
Not sure if it's a native.
Brush against the flowers and they'll stick to you. Very sticky substance on those little hairs below the flower.
Pretty blue, but the plant can get rangey.

Thanks. Reached the same conclusion last night. Unsure of how it became a part of the open outside; possibly due to birds.
Stay well.
