How to Grow Native Plants of Texas and the Southwest by Jill Nokes
Another of the gurus of our native plants. She concentrates here on info on growing and propagating native plants, as well as info on specific species. Again, there's a fantastic amount of info in this book. Very well-researched, she calls upon those who have made propagation their life's work to contribute what they know also. I once went to the wildflower center in Austin to listen to her talk to those interested in what she had to tell them. This mainly covers the woody plants, BTW.
Remarkable Plants of Texas by Matt Warnock Turner
This book chooses a number of Texas species and in each chapter, it gives some basic info on each one, includes photos and then relates histories and stories about it. I've met him...a professor of business, but his interest in plants is evidently very strong, so he took time off to research, write this book and travel around giving talks about it. Very interesting!
Landscaping with Native Plants of Texas by George O. Miller
I like this one also...general landscaping info, lists by category and then the info on each individual plant makes it easy with the photos and info layouts.
