I went into Goliad yesterday evening hoping to find some wildflowers and I was a bit disappointed. It seems the city mowed most of my favorite spots. I was in shock!! It really ticks me off when people mow over patches of wildflowers. I then decided to check out the Goliad State park and they had mowed too!! What is wrong with these people!! At the State park they had left patches here and there but not one bluebonnet...I saw a lot of coreopsis and phlox, such a shame. I do have to say I must be doing something right at our property as I have bluebonnets with so many other wildflowers mixed in with them.
This is pretty but with better management it could be so much prettier!
I found this little patch way in the back of the park...So far it has escaped the mowers!
Glad I got a few photos and I will continue to drive around and look for wildflowers.
One drive that is really pretty is FM 236 out of Cuero to FM 622 (turn right) then turn down Camp Colet Road and continue on to Arnold Rd back to FM 236, turn right and head to Hwy 77 (towards Victoria). There are some beautiful areas and fields of Bluebonnets and Indian Paint brushes...Most are in private yards but still nice to see that some people aren't mowing.

Seems the wildflowers are more scattered this year and fewer and far between. Yours are pretty.
