You rebel, you! How cool to see and photograph the owl! The crossvine is a stunner and your native wisteria is gorgeous! I thought of you just yesterday as traffic on my homeward commute had come to a stop and I was able to admire the plants growing on the side of the road more thoroughly than one can going sixty miles an hour. Up and down the road were blooming the sweetest plants with lupine-like blossoms and leaves. Much less showy than your bluebonnets but obviously kin. Amazing how this plant has adapted to so many climates. There are even wild lupines in Alaska!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-56237972195540894102015-05-11T18:03:07.660-05:002015-05-11T18:03:07.660-05:00Totally Texas views are disappearing so I'm ha...Totally Texas views are disappearing so I'm happy a few will be preserved in places we can visit.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-71695312420857634062015-05-11T18:02:05.423-05:002015-05-11T18:02:05.423-05:00I think they grow pretty fast so you shouldn't...I think they grow pretty fast so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

Different aspects and varying vistas speak to people each in their own way. Thanks for sharing your visit - and all those vistas! So many focus on individual plants when a great part of the genius of these gardens is in the interplay of plants along with those gorgeous "totally Texas!" long views. Happy Wildflowers make for happy gardeners!TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-53545158714659942152015-05-10T13:20:56.769-05:002015-05-10T13:20:56.769-05:00What a great treat seeing that Great Horned owl mu...What a great treat seeing that Great Horned owl must be!
