False Day Flower (Tinantia anomala) Blooms

I’m so excited to have been able to return to visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this year. The area around Austin, Texas is certainly beautiful, and the Wildflower Center’s devotion to the conservation of the native plants of this area is commendable, and visitors are fully educated about this mission before even entering the property with this lovely quotation at the main entrance:

Although it is early spring, so many different trees, shrubs, and flowers are in bloom here in Texas, which is balm for this Pennsylvania girls soul, because not much is blooming yet back at home.

Here’s some stunning additions for your early spring Texas wildlife garden:

Prairie Fleabane (Erigeron modestus)

Texas Redbud (Cercis canadensis var. texensis)

Texas Mountain Laurel (Sophora secundiflora)

Next time you’re in the Austin area, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is not to be missed! The staff and volunteers are eager to share their love of native plants and you will come away with so many ideas for your wildlife garden.
