Texas Wildflowers 5/7/16

 Gary Regner Photography reports on May 7, 2016

April Showers Bring May Flowers. Heavy spring rains after a dry winter didn’t help the bluebonnets this year, but late spring wildflowers have definitely benefited. There has been an explosion of color over the last week. Firewheels are painting fields in a fire of red, and yellows, golds, whites are mixed in with occassional purples. Here in central Texas (north Austin) you don’t have to travel far to find wildflowers in bloom. Similar reports are coming in from the Hill Country as well. Even just walking the dog this morning I found large fields in bloom.
