Texas Master Naturalist

Blooming blackbrush easily identified from a distance

Prickly poppies begin populating the Valley’s roadsides

Butterflies are in the pink with winter-blooming native pink mint

A touch of green to lift the spirits on a dismal winter day

Showy trees – more than a pretty face

It’s an unusual time for caterpillars

Winter is for the birds – counting them, that is!

Valley’s native poinsettias flash their colors in the wild

Plant for butterflies; plant for caterpillars -- Trees and shrubs to plant during cool weather

Crickets -- Soothing serenade or annoying disturbance

Seaside goldenrod might be the power food for fall pollinators
