![The 2021 wildflower season is almost here. And unlike many things lately, it promises to be dependably normal — which = beautiful in Central Texas! While February’s winter storm Uri impacted some native plants, Director of Horticulture Andrea DeLong-Amaya expects that our celebrated flora will bloom as usual.
🌱
“Our Texas bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) and many other native wildflowers are adapted to cold temperatures,” she said, “and the 6 to 8 inches of snow the area received acted as a blanket to protect them against the many days of freezing temperatures.”

Read the Center’s full annual Wildflower Forecast incl. what should bloom soon and some 🔥hot weather insight from @kxan_news Chief Meteorologist David Yeomans [ @davidyeomansweather ] + find other great wildflower watching resources at wildflower.org/texas or our link in today’s Story.
