Hill Country 2006 Pre-season Wildflower Report - Nine counties and 413 miles

Friday, 3/10/2006, I took the grand-tour of Mason, Llano, San Saba, Burnet, Blanco, Gillespie and Kendall Counties to do a pre-season analysis of the wildflower conditions there. My trip covered 413 miles traversing nine counties in the Hill Country.

Good news: I did find bluebonnets blooming. I even found some Drummond’s phlox and Texas paintbrush.

Bad news: The coverage of bluebonnets is very sparse, and it is even less for other wildflowers. The entire route was marked by dry vegetation.
