Best time to see Texas wild flowers?

What is the best time of year to see wild flowers in the Austin and San Antonio area? I think I'll be in Texas this July. Even if July is not the best time to see wild flowers, is July still a good month to see wild flowers in the Austin - San Antonio area?

Best time to see Texas wild flowers?
Wildflowers start blooming in mid-March, and stay until the end of April. You may still see some in May, but they're usually burned off by June.
Reply:I was in the area last week and everything was in full bloom. We stopped often on the side of the highway to take pictures of fields of wild flowers. Cactuses were in bloom also. Sorry, I don't know about July. But if you are going to San Antonio, definitely go to the River Walk. There's restaurants all along the Guadalupe River and boats you can take tours on and/or have dinner on. In one section you'll hear bagpipes playing and in another a mariache band. Excellent diversity in food choices. No railing separates you from the river. I found that surprising - with all the bars right there I was waiting for a happy partier to fall in.





If you like history, go to the Alamo in San Antonio.
Reply:This year we didn't have a good crop because of our lack of rain, but in Fredricksburg there is this place that has wonderful flowers, they sell flowers and have a garden, completely worth the trip.
Reply:During the summer months,the best place I've seen for Texas wildflowers,especially the Bluebonnets are right on I - 10 West(El Paso) @ 1604. Just pull over to the side and check them out.
Reply:last month, by july they are gone because of the heat the only wild flowers you will see in july are considered weeds
Reply:March-April
Reply:The heat will probably do them in by then....but if it keeps on rainin then maybe some will be left. Best time is Apr/May.
Reply:I'll take a wild guess, springtime?!
