Natural History Wanderings

Gary Regner Photography has a Texas wildflower update for February 25, 2014

Recent warm temperatures over the last several weeks have prompted trees to start budding and pollinate. Redbuds have been spotted in early bloom and mountain laurels are forming flower spikes here in the Austin area. Some wildflowers have begun to bloom as well, but mainly invasives such as invasive mustard, henbit, dandelions and pin clover. Good news is that rain is forecast for the coming week. It won’t be long now before we see bluebonnets in bloom. Look for the area south of San Antonio to be first.
