Wildflowers of the Upper Texas Coast

The upper Texas coast is a transtion zone where eastern forests, coastal prairie and marsh, and beach ecosystems converge. Within these different ecosystems grow an amazing diversity of botanically interesting and attractive wildflowers. One can find examples of this diversity throughout our area such as lyre leaf sage, Missouri violets, false garlic, wild onion, common sunflower, blue eyed grass, bluebells and cardinal flower to name a few.

In this course we will explore via Powerpoint presentations these ecosystems and the beautiful wildflowers that grow in them. The course consists of 2 evening classes and one Saturday field trip to visit some of the ecosystems and observe the flowers in their natural environment.

Instructor: Glenn Olsen. Glenn is a member and past president of the Native Plant Society of Texas, as well as co-founder of the "Wildscapes Workshops", a partnership between the Houston Chapter of the Native Plant Society and Texas Parks and Wildlife.
