Natural History Wanderings

Texas WildflowerHaven reports “Hill Country is On Fire”

I traveled back fro Ennis through the northern parts of the Hill Country along RR-580, 501, Texas SH-71 and Texas SH-16.  The trip took me over 10 hours and I spent a good portion of that time traveling from Bend, Texas to Llano.  The roadsides and fields are filling up with a mixture of blooms, including firewheels, Engelmann daisies, blue curls, greenthread, bitterweed  prairie and Texas paintbrush, lazy daisies, and what I think is a species of bladderpod. There is also some bluebonnets still in bloom, most are past peak, but here and there are some patches still looking very nice.
