Natural History Wanderings

Gary Regner Photography has a central Texas wildflower update:

Despite an impending arctic cold front late this weekend that will bring several more overnight freezes to central Texas, the recent warmer temperatures have prompted trees to put on leaves, bloom and pollinate. Oak has joined the pollen count replacing cedar for allergy sufferers. Many redbuds are blooming around Austin and central Texas along with other non-native trees. Many invasive weeds are also blooming, however, bluebonnets are yet to come. Rain this week should help the native wildflowers. Keep tuned for reports, we should start seeing wildflowers in bloom near San Antonio and south Texas.
