The Flower Mound The Flower Mound Foundation preserves the original character of The Flower Mound prairie remnant. The Mound has never had a plow in it.

The Flower Mound is a 12.576-acre native tallgrass prairie segment of the Grand Prairie. Nineteenth century settlers named this landmark The Flower Mound for the profusion of wildflowers that grow there. It is located at 2400 Flower Mound Road, Flower Mound, Texas, on the northeast corner of FM3040 and FM2499. Long time Flower Mound resident Otto Consolvo dedicated himself to preserving The Flower Mound from property development. On July 25, 1983, Consolvo and a group of determined citizens succeeded in purchasing the site and placing it into a permanent land conservancy under the care of The Flower Mound Foundation. On January 11, 1984, The Texas State Historical Commission approved The Flower Mound as a State of Texas Historic Site. The Mound sits on Long Prairie, which was a one mile wide by four mile long prairie amidst the Cross Timbers Forest. Early travelers emerged from fighting their way through the thick brush of the Cross Timbers onto Long Prairie, with The Mound rising above. Many weary travelers rested at, camped on, and surveyed the landscape from The Mound. The Mound exists today as it did when the pioneers first saw it. The same bluestem, Indiangrass, switchgrass and wildflowers grow there as they did hundreds of years ago, when buffalo and antelope grazed them. It is one of the last remaining pieces of unaltered prairie.

Firewheels are almost always red, with a yellow outer tip to the pedals. We have many, but a few variations too. Some almost no yellow of tips, and some with no red at all.
