A last and majestic look at huisache for this year

Click for greater clarity and size.

A March 23rd e-mail from native plant lover Agnes Plutino tipped me off to a stand of huisache trees at the corner of Williamson County Rd. 151 and N.E. Inner Loop in Georgetown, some 20 miles north of Austin. Two days later I was there, and this photograph from that visit is a last tribute for 2013 to the majesty of an Acacia farnesiana when it’s covered with flowers. I wish you could see a full-size version of this on a large monitor. I also wish I could send you the scent.
