Texas Natives = Pretty flowers without watering!

One of the best thing about using native plants is that you don't have to water after they are established (I haven't watered mine in over a year). Here are some pictures of my "Native Garden" from earlier in the Spring and currently.

Lindheimer Daisy (Lindheimera texana)


Brazos Penstemon (Penstemon tenuis)



Cool little grasshopper inside winecup.


Horse crippler (Echinocactus texensis)


Oh the Texas Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis)

Going to be a lot more next year!


Engleman's Daisy (Engelmannia peristenia)



To the right are Maximilian Sunflowers (Helianthus maximiliani)
and on the left Tall Golden Rod (Solidago altissima)


Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea)



Brown-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia hirta)
