Texas
Wildbuds

South Texas 2024

I made a short trip to Choke Canyon State Park, 11 miles west of Three Rivers, at the end of September. Here I found the area, while technically not in a drought, to be very dry with just a few wildflower opportunities.
Please contact me if you have any comments or corrections to my IDs. Thank you.
