Scent of Texas

Texas wildflower project – After moving to Texas, one of the first things I did was go out and collect some of the state's wildflowers. I was drawn to the sea holly, lace flower, bluebonnet, Indian paintbrush, and pink evening primrose in particular. I also gathered specimens of the evening primrose, Indian blanket, campanula, cornflower, gayfeather, texas thistle, perovskia, leucophyllum, knautia arvensis, and cirsism horridulum michx. This project is a great way to celebrate the beauty of Texas and raise awareness about the importance of preserving its natural treasures.
