Two-leaf senna flowers

From along Yaupon Dr. on the far side of my neighborhood on May 25th comes a wildflower I’ve shown here only once before even though it’s common enough in my part of town. It’s Senna roemeriana, known as two-leaf senna because its leaflets grow in pairs. Notice how prominent the veins become on a wilted flower.
