Texas has had little or no rain this spring, so the wildflowers just aren't going to be as good as normal. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Nice Stan! I was down in that area a couple of weeks back, and was hard pressed to find anything close to normal spring wildflowers.

I was down in that area a couple of weeks back, and was hard pressed to find anything close to normal spring wildflowers. And it's going to be a spell before we get much here in northern Utah as we got 8" of snow yesterday! Thanks, Steve. Seems that dry weather or late snow is affecting all the southwestern states this year. I haven't heard any good wildflower reports. Of course, we won't know about CO until July.

Hope all is well there. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1
