Lady Bird Wildflower Center says this year will be a banner of blooms and it's all thanks to the recent rainy yet mild weather.
Spring has truly arrived deep in the heart of Texas, and you can see the wonder of flowers and trees blooming across our beautiful state. This year, we’re in for a floral treat because the experts at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin are predicting that the 2024 wildflower season will be amazing, giving it a preliminary rating of 8 out of 10. The flower Texans are most excited about is the magnificent bluebonnet, which is the state flower of Texas.
With Texas agriculture in the balance, can honeybees thrive in our extreme weather? Andrea DeLong-Amaya, the Lady Bird Johnson’s Wildflower Center’s director of horticulture, said bluebonnets germinate in the fall and their rosettes, or clusters of green leaves, grow over the winter. The rain events this fall and winter, crucial to wildflower growth, were spaced apart to help germinate the seeds but also keep the seedlings from drying out.
