It is springtime and it is the season to go on a nature
quest! The hill country is a perfect backdrop for colorful wildflowers. As you’re
driving on Mopac and passing greenbelts on 360 you can catch a glimpse of the native
blooms all around Austin and Central Texas. Whether you are a plant enthusiast or just interested in sightseeing,
here are a few ideas of places where you can stop, wander around and take
pictures with Bluebonnets, Pink Evening Primrose, Indian Paintbrush and more:
Brushy Creek Lake
Park – Located in Cedar Park, the open fields are perfect to gaze at the
patches of flowers while having a picnic with your kids.

Mayfield Park – Nature
abundant, you will be treated to water features, peacocks, walking trails and
flowers scattered around.
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower
Center – This is an awesome place to take family photos. Plus, there are
other types of plants, cacti and roses to see that thrive in the Texas climate.
Willow City Loop –
Nestled 12 miles outside of Fredericksburg. It is a bit of a commute but the drive
will surely be scenic. Also, stop by the Wild Seed Farm. Not only can you buy
seeds and other natives, they have a path to wander on to see the different
variety of flowers up close.
