Wildflower Watching in Brenham Texas has the following new wildflower report for March 14, 2014:
Indian Paintbrush (IP) is winning the blooming race this season! They are still small and scattered, but they are out there! I took a look around Brenham, Hwy 36 south to the county border and Hwy 36 North to the Lake Somerville Dam. Found a lot of IP in the median along 36 South just a mile outside of town. There were even some Bluebonnets (BB) mixed in, but small patches – you have to be specifically looking to see them! Hwy 36 North also has lots of IP scattered along the road closer to Brenham and in town near Scenic Estates across from Hohlt Park. Again, they aren’t plentiful, but certainly getting better with every passing day!
In town I found some BBs in the ever-faithful stretch between Whataburger and Maurice’s. Across the highway below Los Cabos there are BBs growing on the embankment. There isn’t much in way of photography – YET – but we’re hopeful!
In front of Giddings Stone Mansion there are lots of pretty little yellow wildflowers, a few IP mixed in and I managed to find ONE lone BB as I walked around. We did a seeding there in 2013 so we’re hoping to have a good display in the coming weeks.
