When
March enters in Texas,
hundreds of wildflower species begin to bloom. Which is why in spring, Texans
are busy with a number of festivals. Most of these festivals are created to celebrate
the blooming of native Texas
wildflowers. The famous Texas bluebonnet even has its own festival that is
celebrated in the entire month of March.
The State flower
Spring is the best time to home hunt in Texas.
This is the time of the year home buyers will see Texas in all its color, with color blue
dominating over other colors. The reason for this is that in spring, the State
flower of Texas
is seen all over the region, from the roadside, to gardens and parks and even
on vacant lands. The Texas bluebonnet, or the State Flower of Texas, is in full
bloom and painting the town blue.
Surprisingly, this native Texas
flower also comes in pink, although a pink Texas bluebonnet is rarely seen.
Blurple and other flower colors
Native Texas flowers are classified according to their bloom color. Twisted
Acacia, Retama, Pelotazo, Buffalo Bur, Annual Bastard-Cabbage, Common Dogweed,
Common Sunflower, Copper-Lily and Engelmann Daisy are some of the Native Texas
flowers that fall under the color yellow. All these native flowers are commonly
sighted all over the Texas
region.
Other native Texas
flower colors are red, blue, purple or a combination of both colors (blurple)
and white.
Colorful backyard, common in Texas
A tourist or home buyers who are planning on moving to Austin, Texas might be
surprised with the colorful backyards that are common attraction in different
parts of Texas, all year round. If he comes from a city with no flowers in
sight except for a couple of bouquets for sale in a flower shop, he might choke
himself up with the beautiful sight of lined Bluebonnets, sparkling
pinkish-ruby azeleas and bright-yellow daffodils in every backyard.
A flower lover and gardener would definitely love to live in Texas. Imagine, even those who don't have
green thumb can grow beautiful roses in their backyards! Think of what a garden
would look like if its homeowner is a gardener by heart (and thumb)?
Caring for native Texas flowers
It is not hard to grow flowers in Texas.
Its climate and soil composition is perfect for gardening. A hoe, shovel,
watering hose, water spray, cutter and a hat are enough to get a gardener
started. Austin, Texas has gardening shops lined up that
could satisfy the needs of both beginning and seasoned gardener.
Fall is the best time to plant seedlings. Sprouts grow during the spring
season, although other flower species bloom in summer as well as fall. Just
tending them regularly in fall, feeding the seedling with a sprinkle of water
and a dash of organic fertilizer, a home gardener can expect the colorful
blooms in March.
For nature lovers, Austin, Texas is the best place to relocate. Aside
from the fact that it's a great place to experience all the four seasons, its
blooming flowers would undoubtedly bring out the gardener in every person.
