Description

Went to Welder Wildlife Refuge to look for a few plants and other things (with permission from director). Tried to find a few historic plant populations, but those areas were dominated with non-native grasses. Oh well. Still had some fun finding other critters and plants! :)

Description

Right before the Texas Academy of Sciences meeting, I ran into legendary Texas botanist, Bill Carr! He was doing a little survey for the Tobusch fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus brevihamatus subsp. tobuschii) around Kimble County. He told me of this location, and I was lucky enough to find a few individuals! Location greatly obscured due to conservation concerns:

Taken during the second virtual tour of Hill Country Conservancy's Nalle Bunny Run wildlife preserve.

Near the gate in the eastern oak-juniper habitat we found a tree I first found in 2013. (See it as a small sapling here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/274203) Wow, what a tree it has grown into! And I've never seen it flowering before!
