"Where flowers bloom so does hope."
Lady Bird Johnson |
These grew in bunches with thick stems which bled white, sticky milk. Anyone out there in Texas know what these are named?
Note: Thanks to NCshutterbug we have an answer! They are called Antelope Horns. |
I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one. - Edna St. Vincent Millay |
“Every time I see the flowers blooming along the highways of America, I think of her.” Reverend Billy Graham, family friend, delivered the invocation at the dedication of the LBJ Library and Museum and presided over President Johnson’s burial service

“She lit a fire in this country that still burns." George B. Hartzog, Jr., former Director of the National Park Service

As delicate as moth wings--I'm not kidding! Straight from a field.

Johnson, Lady Bird,1912–2007
As first lady (1963–69) she sponsored environmental causes and national beautification projects and later co-founded (1982) what is now the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Austin, Tex. |
Thank you Lady Bird!

Great set! The flowers in #2 are Antelope Horns. The flowers in #4 were a favorite when I was a kid (aside from the bluebonnets). We used to rub the centers on each other's nose - they left them all yellow. :)
