A Tapestry of Floral Delights
Spring in Texas is a spectacle of color, as wildflowers burst forth in a profusion of hues. Bluebonnets, the state flower, paint the landscape with their ethereal blue, while Indian paintbrushes add splashes of brilliant red and orange. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin celebrates this floral extravaganza with an enchanting display of over 900 species of native wildflowers, offering a breathtaking glimpse into the vibrant side of Texas.
Majestic Giants and Verdant Landscapes
Beyond the wildflowers, Texas is home to an impressive array of trees that add grandeur and ecological value to its landscapes.
