Natural History Wanderings

Gary Regner Photography posted a new wildflower report on March 2, 2013.

Trees continue to bloom

Mountain laurels and redbuds continue to bloom in central Texas, with not much to report on annual wildflowers in tha Austin area. Invasive bastard cabbage has been spotted, but in far fewer numbers than last year. A return to more seasonable temperatures lately may put off the beginning of the annual wildflower bloom for a bit. In the Brenham area, there are increasing reports of early bluebonnet sightings. I expect a better wildflower display in the Brazos Valley area compared to last year because of better rainfall. Last year the Hill Country had a great bloom, but much less rainfall this season will probably mean a much more subdued display.
