Natural History Wanderings

April 7, 2014 – Stockdale/Seguin area

Headed south again Monday to explore the area around Seguin and Stockdale. The following is a synopsis of the route I took with notes on what I observed:

TX 123 S from San Marcos to Seguin – not a whole lot of wildflowers until you get to Seguin, mostly cropland [Rating 0]

TX 123 S from Seguin to FM 1681 north of Stockdale – more and more wildflowers alond this route, but with the oil boom this road is busy [Rating 2-3]

FM 1681 E from Jct TX 123 to Union Valley – many good displays of a variety of wildflowers including bluebonnets, paintbrush, verbena, crown tickseed, prickly poppy, and phlox [Rating 4]

FM 466 E from Jct FM 1117 to TX 80 – another great route that gets best closer to TX 80, many good photo ops along this road with a variety of wildflowers including bluebonnets, phlox, paintbrush, bladderpod, prickly poppy, lazy daisies and groundsel
