Wildbuds
Welcome to Texas Wildbuds
...a collection of Texas wildflower photos taken around the state with most from Central Texas and Big Bend. Included are descriptions and references for each of the plants. The website is organized to show the species by color, name and places where they were taken. There are 560 identified species, subpecies and varieties on the site as of June 19, 2021.
Click on the images below to see our Recent Additions, our library of Wildflowers by Color and listings of wildflowers by family and name.
My objective in building this site is to present quality wildflower images with correct identifications and descriptions for others to reference, use and enjoy. A lot of care has been taken in plant identification but there are likely some mistakes. Please contact me if you find errors. Enjoy the photos. And be sure to check out my Colorado Wildbuds website, too!
