The chapter enjoyed an educational presentation last evening from Casey Williams, an Aquatic Ecologist, on native aquatic plants. He was very engaging and brought a nice sample of plants which some got the pleasure of taking home.
It was also nice to welcome some new folks to the meeting.
Thank you to HEB for providing snacks.

When adding lantana to your landscape, choose native!

Texas lantana, aka Lantana horrida, is a beneficial species with flower clusters that change from yellow to orange to red as they age. A great foundational plant for a Texas pollinator garden, this low-spreading shrub thrives in the full summer sun, requiring very little water after the first year. Its spring-to-fall blooms are very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

Texas lantana stands out among the many undesirable, non-native lantanas in the marketplace. Please don’t buy the pink and yellow “tropical” lantana (Lantana camara), which is classified as an invasive species in Texas. Lantana camara can easily invade disturbed areas and suppress the growth of native plants.
