Introduction

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is a truly hidden jewel! If you want to tour the official Internet site go to http://www.wildflower.org/. During the past 4-5 years, the Center has truly matured into a beautiful and inspiring place to visit. I made these digital photos on an Olympus 620 Digital Camera during a spring retreat of a University of Texas function. It took less than 30 minutes to take these photos, but they are worth a thousand words!

Directions to the Center. Take Loop 1 south for about 10 miles. After you pass the Loop 1, Slaughter Lane intersection, take the first left turn onto La Crosse Avenue. You will see a sign for the Wildflower Center at this intersection. After you turn onto La Crosse Avenue, the Center will be on your right after you pass the Veloway. Address: 4801 La Crosse Avenue, Austin, Texas 78739.
