Name: josephine Arlington, Texas (Zone 8a) Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.
Jay, you are lucky to be much farther south than we are, and have wildflowers still blooming.
Ours are long gone with the first big freeze, our sumacs just froze and didn't turn color this year.
Wildflowers are the Smiles of Nature.
Gardening with Texas Native Plants and Wildflowers.
I went to the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday and found a few more wildflowers in bloom. There are no more large masses of flowers to be found, but I can still find a few giving one last push before they go to sleep.
