Intermittent rains and mild
temperatures have made this
a banner year for pink evening
primrose, Huisache trees, and
some other native plants,
though they often compete
for space with invasives.
Mild spring favors some colorful natives

The Wildflower Center's Native Plant Information Network allows you to search for native plant info by plant traits or names, browse through our collection of 17,000 native plant images, and pose your plant question to our resident horticulturalist.

We are obligated to leave the country looking as good if not better than we found it.
