Wildflowers Across Texas

By: Patricia Caperton Parent

Book Overview

From Amarillo to San Antonio, from El Paso to Houston, the Texas landscape lights up almost year-round with thousands of delicate, dazzling wildflowers. Whether you seek quantity or diversity, no state can boast more wildflowers than Texas, where more than 5,000 species thrive. WILDFLOWERS ACROSS TEXAS brings us Texas photographer Laurence Parent's most spectacular wildflower images: fields of bright, beloved Texas bluebonnets, lakes full of wild water lilies, and rare, isolated agave blossoms. The beauty of the Texas landscape is here in its full glory. This stunning book will be cherished by visitors to Texas, those who hail from the Lone Star State, and those who simply love the splendor of wildflowers. A delightful foreword by First Lady Laura Bush pays fond tribute to her native state and to the tantalizing allure of the flowers springing up along the roads and across the hills and plains of this great state.
