April is for Activity!

Spring has finally arrived in full force in the Madrone Canyon! The Madrone trees bloomed in late March, the grasses are turning green and establishing themselves for the long summer, and the wildflowers are adding new color to the landscape on a daily basis. Most notable is the Mealy Sage, a lovely blue flowering plant that loves the steep incline running parallel to Bee Cave Road. Butterflies and hummingbirds are particularly fond of this sage's nectar. To see it, go into the canyon and follow the road bed to the right - when you have passed the bridge on the left, look for a marker on the right and descend along the trail. You should see several plants along this area.
