Grow your own backyard wildflowers

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]here is an oft repeated feeling that I experience every year here in Texas. By summer I am mentally packing my bags and moving to Colorado.  I swear that I cannot take one more year here in this heat.  But then something happens. Not just any something… but Texas in spring happens.

Specifically, our state breaks out into bloom. Then all of a sudden I no longer feel the immediate need to relocate to somewhere cooler, because there is nothing ‘cooler’ than spring Texas wildflowers in all their glory!

If you have an area in your yard that gets plenty of sun and maybe is in need of a little pizzazz, then you can easily bring these spring (and summer) blooming beauties to your home garden. Fall or autumn is a good season for planting your backyard wildflower patch.
