Texas native plant thread.

[TxAg]

I cheat. I've been a member of the Native Plant Society for many years and about 70% of all the plants in my gardens are natives and I have no lawn only gardens all the way around the house. It's the only way to landscape as far as I'm concerned.

Do you have more pictures of your yard? I'd like to see the garden look all the way around. Sounds nicer than st. Augustine

Negative. It will get a red flower and red berry.

In on this- I enjoy learning flora and fauna and would like to learn about what is edible and in what fashion.

Is that mimosa?

I'm trying to integrate natives and replace others.

For those in Nort Dallas area, this place is pretty great, they are in Frisco:

No problem. I have no grass, don't even own a lawn mower any more. This is a kid paradise and I love people bringing their kids by. They love climbing on the rocks and playing in the 7 water gardens and running down all the paths and trails.

Front, back and one side.

That is False Mesquite Calliandra. Most ranches I've hunted that had it, called it Huajillo. It's not but it's close.

I'm slowly doing the same thing to my front yard Draco.

These are in Goliad County.

Those leaves look like it could be some kind of nightshade.
