Surprise first-day leading species for Austin's City Nature Challenge
I just glanced at the project page for Austin's City Nature Challenge 2022 and was tickled when I saw the leading species for the first day of the event: Rain Lily!
Just like 95% of Texas, much of the Austin area is in moderate to exceptional drought, although the region is split about half and half in and out of the drought areas:
It was only a brief passing storm system last Monday that prompted the appearance of the rain lilies ... but we'll take 'em!
