My urban natives garden showing lyreleaf sage, golden groundsel, frog fruit and the red mulberry tree. Also in the garden but not shown here: American beauty berry, Turk's cap, Texas bluebonnet (state flower), coreopsis, black eyed Susan.
Even in a time or place when the humans are a big letdown, it's always getting to know the native plants that makes a place feel like home to me.
No matter where you live, it's always the native plants who have been there the longest of all the persons; of the two-legged persons, four-legged persons, winged persons or the no-legged-at-all persons, it doesn't matter- the native plants have been there the longest and they always know the most about how to properly BE in the place.

Texas bluebonnets (state flower) on the side of the road near the Oak Lawn exit on route 35. One of the most endearing things about living in Texas is (using the word "y'all" obviously, and) how much the locals adore the fleeting bluebonnet season.
