Hello Everyone!
I was in San Antonio the last two weeks and I saw lots of wildflowers on the south side of town, specifically LP 1604 from IH 35 to IH 37. One of the best spots was a little north of LP 1604 on Applewhite Road.
There were fields of flowers all along LP 1604: sunflowers, indian blanket, black-eyed susans, and horsemint.
First exit past LP 1604 on south bound IH 37 ( I think the exit is Priest Rd/Mathis Rd), on the NW corner as you come to the stop sign, I found a good-size stand of Engleman Daisies. Crossing the overpass to go northbound on IH 37, there were plenty of basketflower.
I have never seen so much color on the south side. You would do well to visit.
I also ran across Medina Natural Area on SH 16 (Palo Alto Rd), south of Watson Rd. It is a new city park that is on the Medina River. It is beautiful and has plenty of flowers and butterflies on the higher elevation trails. I saw some flowers I rarely see, if at all: leatherbell and baby blue bell.
Enjoy!
two cents and then some ...
