However, Texas is blessed with a large variety of wildflowers that and at least a few are always in bloom no matter whether spring, summer or fall.   In fact, there are several fall wildflowers that can put on a very lovely display given the correct conditions. Some these fall wildflower include: Golden Eye Texas Aster Fall Aster Tall Aster Gayfeather/Blazing Star Maximilian Sunflower Lindheimer Senna White Boneset Frostweed Cardinal Flower Snow-on-the-mountain/prairie   Fall wildflowers in Texas come with an added bonus...Monarch Butterflies.  The Monarch migration routes cross through much of the Texas Hill Country.  Find a patch of frostweed blooming and you might find a Monarch or two to pose for you.   http://www.pbase.com/richo/image/68609919 RichO Hunting Texas Wildflowers    Report

A fair number of gayfeather/blazing star plants are just starting to bloom along the edges of the parking lot. Also saw snow-on-mountain, lantana, turk's cap, cardinal flower and a few others.  The area is really covered well with tall grass and bushes. Bind weed is making good use of its ability to grow up and around the tall plants gaining exposure to the sun. The spring along the Water Trail is flowing very nicely. Strangely missing were Maximilian sunflowers. I usually spot a few plants in the parking lot area. RichO Hunting Texas Wildflowers    Report
