Up Close and Native, Round 2

Posted on by

It’s that time again — let’s play another Guess That Native! game (for Round 1, click here). How closely do you know your southern native plants? Remember, all of these plants are native to Texas, at the very least, simply because that’s where I garden. Even if you aren’t from Texas or the South, I hope you’ll play the game — I bet you’ll know some of these plants or perhaps plants from the same family! Here we go!

Up Close and Native, Round 1

Today I want to play a game. Many of you, especially if you live in Central Texas, know and grow some of my favorite native plants (that doesn’t necessarily mean they are only native to Texas, mind you). You might think you know these plants pretty well. But how well, or should I say, how closely do you know them? Can you ID these plants from these snippets? Some might be obvious, but others might not be so easy. Good luck!
