Tall Goldenrod Solidago altissima
A good pollinator native, full of nectar and very, very attractive to butterflies and native bees.
Before you discount this lovely perennial wildflower because of the pollen, be aware that this
is not a problem for hay fever suffers. Goldenrod is showing up more in floral arrangements
because of its beautiful color and feathery texture. Live roots available on p. 77

TexaS BlueBellS Eustoma exaltatum ssp. russellianum
Blooms almost iridescent and velvety. Cool blue, purple, pink, white colors pull the eye like a
magnet in hot Texas summers. Sparsely seen along riverbanks. Long ago, thriving colonies seen
in open grassy fields near perched water and hillside seeps. Mostly gone now. One of Lady Bird’s
favorites, she was our most influential First Lady. Mrs. Johnson’s acute intuition about what
natural beauty can do for society was shaped by her love and holistic view of the environment.
