Are there any flower seed that it is not too late to plant in Central Texas?

I know it is late. I bought a bunch of different annuals that are native to Texas and will reseed themselves, and some perennials. Then I got sick and had to have surgery. I NEED COLOR! I NEED TO GET MY HANDS DIRTY! what would be my best bet??

I'd go for zinnias; they can withstand the heat better than just about any other flower that I know. They come in all sorts of colors, including green and white (although I prefer the yellow, orange, red, and pink ones myself). They're super-easy to grow; just keep them watered and keep the weeds away, and you've got it made!
Reply:Hyacinth Bean vine is a beautiful annual that will give you dark lovely foliage, striking purple spikes of flowers that are great for cut arrangements and are followed by impressive shiny purple pods. Need to be supported. Not invasive like trumpet vine. I live in North Texas and they are super here until the end of October.
Reply:Plant them all in pots, bring them in in the winter, replant them in the spring next year, You'll still get color when no one else has. Even if you lose some, atleast you'll have a better chance of having the fun %26amp; beauty of it all.
