Texas Wildflowers
With its sprawling size and diversity of landforms, Texas offers a treasure of spectacular wildflowers for residents and visitors alike. Over 5,000 species of flowering plants are native to Texas. March, April and May are prime blooming months, but there is always something blooming in Texas. We hope you enjoy this small sample of some of Texas' wildflowers. If you are in Austin, try to visit the National Wildflower Research Center.

GO Image Gallery
An amazing site providing access to millions of images (albums, thumbnails, and full size graphics). Try out the embedded search engine to see photos of various flora and fauna, as well as images from Big Bend (including geology graduate students!).

This will eventually provide a comprehensive, indexed (i.e., site location, subject area and specific features) "bank" of original graphics for individual use in the classroom...
