Along the way, I stopped to check on the golden wave in Llano County. Sadly, due to work and the recent storms, I missed the peak of the wave. The golden wave (coreopsis) is past its prime flowering and there are now more seedpods than blooms. I did spot several large displays of purple horsemint, basketflower, and greenthread. Purple horsemint/lemonmint along RR-962 west of US 281. Erect dayflower along SH-29 Purple horsemint and greenthread along RR-962 east of US 281. There is still wildflower color in the Hill Country and you do not have to travel very far to find some nice spots.  Up next will be the bluebell gentians and the mountain pink which has already been spotted near Kerrville.

Location, location, location -- I guess what is true in real estate is also true in wildflowers :0) Nice photos as usual Rich! Thanks for sharing them and the current status info.

Thank Murry, The one thing I have really enjoyed this spring is seeing some of my favorite wildflowers in larger displays. I love getting close-ups of wildflowers, but seeing large displays of them and even large fields of them is really a treat. I hope we are in at least a two year weather cycle that will give us another spring next year like this one. FYI...as I was driving through the town of Blanco, I noticed the Lavender festival is in full swing.  Blanco had their celebration this weekend. I know you like lavender.   RichO Hunting Texas Wildflowers    Report
