Natural History Wanderings

Gary Regner Photography has a central Texas wildflower update:

Many late spring/early summer wildflowers are still blooming in the Austin area. Flowers currently in bloom include: firewheels, greenthread, Mexican hats, clasping-leaf coneflowers, verbena, antelope horns, mealy sage, and prickly pear cacti. With recent heavy rains, blooms should continue for several weeks.
