That's more than I have in my garden, which means that's probably more than you have in YOUR garden, which means you could ALWAYS add more! 🤗

Plus check out these adorable, new nature pins we got in 😍

Lots of reasons to visit us this weekend! Come beat the heat, and browse our plants in air-conditioned comfort ❄️

It may not always turn heads like a wildflower, but Sideoats Grama (Bouteloua curtipendula) is Texas royalty — it’s our official state grass, after all.

This native bunchgrass gets its name from the way its oat-like seeds dangle off just one side of the stem. And when it blooms, look closely — you’ll catch flashes of orange and purple in the tiny flowers.

Beyond good looks, it’s got serious range. Sideoats helps hold soil in place, supports pollinators, and serves as food for wildlife. It’s a larval host plant for several skipper butterflies, which means it’s quietly doing the kind of behind-the-scenes work that keeps a prairie healthy.

See if you can spot it out on our trails: wildflower.org/visit

🌼🐝 Introducing Pollinator Week: June 15 - 21, 2025! 🐝🌼

Join us in celebrating the incredible role that pollinators play in our ecosystem during Pollinator Week! From bees and butterflies to hummingbirds and bats, these remarkable creatures are essential for the growth of many plants and crops that we rely on every day.

Here’s how you can help protect and conserve our pollinators:

Plant Native Flowers: Choose flowers that are native to your region. They provide the best sources of nectar and pollen for local pollinators.

Create Pollinator Habitats: Transform your yard or community space into a pollinator-friendly habitat. Include diverse plants, water sources, and sheltered areas for nesting.

Reduce Pesticide Use: Use natural pest control methods and minimize pesticide use to create a safer environment for pollinators.

Spread the Word: Educate your friends and family about the importance of pollinators and what they can do to help.

Support Local Farmers: Choose products from local farms that practice sustainable agriculture, which is better for pollinator populations.

Join Local Initiatives: Participate in community efforts, such as planting events or clean-ups, that aim to protect and enhance pollinator habitats.

Let’s come together to make a difference for our pollinators during Pollinator Week and beyond! 🌍💚
