Each year The Woodlands seed wildflowers along a lot of the main streets and the show has definetly started with the recent warm weather. I shot yesterday for an hour or so and have a few of the photos processed and up at this link: http://grigsbys.smugmug.com/gallery/4439942_4jSjS Lots of bluebonnets and other beauties so anyone close by might enjoy a trip here this week after the rain passes by today (if it ever shows up?). I'd be happy to help with directions but I've noted some hot locations in my previous post. If the "REAL" wildflowers fail to show up this year and you're looking for a Texas trip there is an old garden that has been revitalized and reopened in Orange, Texas called Shangrila: http://www.shangrilagardens.org/ I may mosey over there later this spring and check it out? Flowers will brighten your day whether mild or wild, Murry!    Report

Thanks for the report Murry, WildflowerHaven is all about encouraging the use of native plants along our roads, in our yards, in our pastures, in our gardens and even in pots.  It is good to see some development areas are at least planting back some of the seeds lost when they cleared the land for houses and paved roads.  There are also a few forward thinking developers here in San Antonio who are doing the same thing and also setting aside "wildlife areas" or natural areas.   RichO Hunting Texas Wildflowers    Report
