Today, we will view the Lakeway Walk of Texas Flora. There are 26 stops, so we won’t make all of them today. We’ll do half this week and the rest next. Also, the display cards are under glass, so the photographs are as good as I could make them. We are catered by Embers of Austin, and our entertainment is Johnnie Lee and Lane Brody.

Texas has some lovely flora. I especially love The Laurel Mountain Ash. That is a great version of the Yellow Rose of Texas. One of my dad’s favourite songs. He sang it often.

I’m glad they made a point of indicating which of these was invasive. I knew all the flowers, but I’m not so familiar with the trees. Some of these might be central Texas species. As for “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” I once broke into that song while crossing the state line into the Panhandle: so glad to be back home!

The history of the song is quite rich and part of the deep fabric of what makes Texas great. Thank you, Linda. 😊

Steak & eggs, please. Enjoyed the your and I’m amazed Steve the variety. Good version of Yellow Rose. A bit more folksy than The Mitch Miller band version.

Looks like a delightful walk, John. I actually like the reflections in the sings. They add an interesting element, and some are beautiful.
I’d like the steak & eggs (over medium) but could I get a short stack of pancakes on the side?
