who here likes to go for long drives in the country to see wildflowers?
This guy. I’ve done the recon Sue. It’s pretty bleak out in the hill country this year with regards to wildflowers except for one spot. Head west on 71, about 10 or 15 miles before Llano the sides of the road looks like waterfalls the bluebonnets are so thick. Just a few Indian Paintbrushes, brown-eyed Susan’s and primroses but the BB’s are worth the drive. It really does lift anyone’s spirits to see the show they put on this time of year. At Llano either turn south on highway 16 to Fredericksburg then take 290 back to ATX for an extended wildflower tour (about 4 hrs round trip) or just turn back around on 71 and soak up that stunning spectacle twice.
