Spring’s Second Wave

Early spring this year was somewhat disappointing, with bluebonnets average at best. The second wave of spring wildflowers, however, looks like a tsunami. It finally looks like all the rain is paying off. Locally in north Austin vacant lots and fields are carpets of color, including yellows, golds, reds and whites. Now blooming are: firewheels, greenthread, yellow primrose, Bishops weed, bitterweed, horsemint and many others.

Hopefully there are similar scenes in the Hill Country, I’ll be out there this weekend and will provide an update afterwards.
