The Clymer Meadow Preserve

Join James Eidson, M.S., on a tour of the wildflowers that grown on the Clymer Meadow Preserve, a remnant Blackland prairie, protected by The Nature Conservancy of Texas. The Clymer displays a world time appears to have long forgotten. Here, you find an original landscape of ancient plant life that weaves colors and textures into a tapestry known to be Texas in the 1870's. Plants with strange names such as Fringed Puccoon, Ground Plum, Purple Indian Paint Brush, Blue Wild Indigo, Clasping Leaf Cone-Flower and Purple Cone-Flower engulf the prairie. These plants, not seen in the usual mix of Bluebonnets and Paint Brushes on the side of the road thrive here and stand as a living monument to our recent past.
