Hunting Texas Wildflowers 2024

It’s HERE!

After 18 years, I have a new Hunting Texas Wildflowers book. This time, it is in eBook format. Why eBook? The main reason is cost. It costs so much to produce a book in print. I wanted to add so many color photos that the cost to you would have doubled the original print book.

The new Hunting Texas Wildflowers 2024 eBook has 28 sample route photos with dates and locations for each and 30 photos of common Texas wildflowers with links to more information for each wildflower.

The eBook is constructed around four regions (Brenham, Ennis, Texas Hill Country, and South Central). Nine cities can be used as a home base from which you can take day trips, visit parks and other interesting stops, and travel nearby wildflower routes. I have traveled each route in the past 25 years, and they are some of the top routes in the four regions. The nine home base cities are:

• Austin 
• Brenham
• Burnet (includes Marble Falls)
• Ennis (includes locations in the DFW area)
• Fredericksburg
• Johnson City
• Llano
• Mason
• San Antonio

Other locations nearby to the above nine cities in each region are also included such as Cuero, Lockhart and Kerrville.

I have included links to county maps for each of the nine potential home bases. You can download and print out the maps you need for your wildflower adventures. When I started my wildflower journey, I carried a bag of printed country maps. These were essential in helping me find some of those less traveled roads. County maps can also show some very interesting locations. I have also included a link to download and use Google Maps offline with GPS.

I have included over 40 parks and stops where you can find wildflowers, enjoy a fun experience, or grab a bite to eat. The parks and stops include a few old-style country stores, wineries, and even a cemetery that once was covered in bluebonnets.

I have outlined over thirty day-trips that will take you through areas that have previously yielded spectacular wildflower displays.

I have detailed over 30 routes that, for me, have consistently produced excellent views of wildflowers.

Also included are:

References: These are sources that helped me learn more about the history of wildflowers in Texas and find the best locations where they might produce beautiful displays.

Resources: The eBook has links to resources to help you find, identify, and grow wildflowers

Wildflower Photography Tips: These are the settings and the process that I follow to help me photograph wildflowers.
