Did you know that the Lindheimera Texana is the Hill Country Chapter’s flower? This little flower is sometimes called the Texas Star — It is hardy and very popular in pollinator gardens. So it is appropriate for the Texas Master Naturalist, Hill Country Chapter to claim Texas Star as “our” flower and to name our newsletter after such a charming little flower.

Texas Star is easily cultivated and does well in garden settings. It is named after Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer (1801-1879) who is often called the Father of Texas Botany.
