I’m still sorting through my photos of my San Miguel trip, but in the meantime, all you Texans start whooping and hollering, because it’s Texas Native Plants Week! Get out there and give special happy attention to your native plants, or go get your garden a new Texas-native flower, tree, shrub, vine, or grass just to celebrate! In my garden, lots of Monarchs and Queen butterflies are loving on my blooming natives right now, so I’m having double the fun visiting the garden this week.
Want to learn more? Read the Statesman’s article, visit the Wildflower Center, or check out Austin’s TX Native Plants Week page for listings of this week’s special events, great native plant sources, or other information.
Yay, native!
So that’s where all our Monarchs are…..down there in Texas enjoying all your blooming natives.
I am a believer after the summer we have had. I lost so many plants that were not natives…I can’t keep on spending money on plants that take a lot of water and can’t take the heat.
I am a big fan of natives. I figure if the thing wants to live here we’re on the same team. Makes it a whole lot easier on all of us. Of course I’m not a purist, I’m just lazy.
