I saw some plants of Texas Bluebells (not blooming, of course) when I went on an outing last fall at a large property with a lake in NW Bexar Co. The chapter of NPSOT was going to come back for another outing there not long ago, but I heard that the bluebells near the lake had been somewhat submerged during heavy rainfalls in early May and thererefore they were not blooming for that outing. It's a species that people used to use for cut flowers a lot in the past. It really needs certain kinds of niche areas and should be left undisturbed, otherwise it tends to go away.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
