Branching green lines (with thorns) of Retama...
Patterns of translucent leaves crisscrossed by dark branches and yellow spherical flowers of Huisache...
Both Retama and Huisache are small. multi-trunk trees growing abundantly throughout the hill and brush country of South Texas. The Huisache is one of the first trees to bloom each year, typically beginning in mid-February. From what I have seen the past couple weeks, it looks like the Huisache are set to bloom prolifically in the next week or so here in Bexar County.
These photographs were taken on my walk along the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River downstream from the VFW Blvd trailhead this past Monday, February 15, 2016.
