Texas spring wildflowers to shine bright despite winter storm

Texas spring wildflowers to shine bright despite winter storm By FOX 7 Austin Digital Team Published  AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department says you shouldn t worry if you thought the recent winter storm would dampen the normally amazing Texas spring wildflower season. Texas bluebonnets typically peak at the end of March through mid-April. Bluebonnets often start blooming near Interstate 10 between San Antonio and Houston and then farther north toward the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The native range of Texas bluebonnets is primarily the Hill Country and Blackland Prairie Ecoregions, although Texans have seeded these flowers well beyond.  Recent Texas flora Facebook posts, and photos from native plant enthusiasts, that I received during the winter storm included blooming bluebonnets covered in ice in central Texas, said Jason Singhurst, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) botanist, in a news release.

Horny toads are disappearing Can they be saved?

The Horned Lizard Conservation Society, a nonprofit that sponsors scientific research on the critters, started in 1991. Speaking at one of its first meetings was Wade Sherbrooke, the former director of the Southwest Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History in Arizona. He was moved by people’s passion about the creatures he’d studied for more than 40 years. Advertisement “Some old rancher would get up and say, ‘We had horny toads and we should have them again! Ice cream cones and horny toads, that’s what life’s all about!’” he recalled. But the lizard’s decline, he said, is just one tragic example of the damage humans have inflicted on this ever-warming planet.
