Austin: Wildflower Center, part 2 - in sun

January 23, 2019/ Alyse Lansing

In honor of Wildflower Wednesday, I return to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, a beautiful, warm place for an armchair revisit.

About this blog:

On gardens and nature and being outside

With this platform I explore the inspirations behind good gardens—beauty, nature, ideas from travel, garden tours, journeys (trails), plant composition, spacial design, natural ecosystems, etc. I’m passionate about what gives certain outdoor spaces their spark, what makes them comfortable, or uplifting, or healing. The best gardens have love and “Life” behind them. An indefinable quality, but you feel it.

My own garden is in Scappoose, OR, USA, 25 minutes north of Portland, near the Columbia River. Zone 7b (occasional low 7ºF).
