Located in Blanco, Texas, at 115 Main Street, the mother\/daughter owners are highly adept in their craft, using a lifetime of honed skills.  \n\nOur lecture covered the importance of native Texas grapes, which have been hybridized into rootstocks used in vineyards worldwide to prevent infestations such as (1) the Phylloxera infestation in European vineyards caused by almost microscopic, pale yellow, sap-sucking insects, or (2) Pierce\u2019s Disease, caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, which is spread by xylem-feeding leafhoppers known as sharpshooters.  There are 13 native grape species and 100 named varieties of wild grapes in Texas, more than any other state!\n\nVoted Best Winery in Blanco County for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, Esperanza Winery has developed important skills in grafting rootstock to obtain palatable varietals.  Also, knowing the soil type and elevation a particular type of grape prefers is crucial for the vine to thrive.\n\n Don\u2019t take my word for it.

This is one of the showiest members of the Gaura species.  The 1\u201c white flowers open early in the morning, starting white and eventually turning pink.  They appear from late Spring to Fall.  If the plants are cut back in mid-summer, when flowering declines, it will produce a fresh batch of flowers in the fall.  Butterflies and bees enjoy the nectar. \n\nThe loose, open growing plants are 2\u2019 \u2013 4\u2019 tall and can be 3\u2019 wide.  The leaves are dark green in the summer and turn red or gold in the fall.  White Gaura occurs naturally in the prairies and pinelands of the eastern part of the state.  It prefers full sun but will tolerate part shade.  It has a deep taproot, is tolerant of drought and requires well drained soil.  It is moderately deer resistant but may require some protection when first set out.\n\nPlants are commercially available, and some named cultivars with pink flowers have been developed.  It is easy to grow from seed, and plants will self sow, possibly becoming invasive.\n\nKidneywood is a NPSOT Lindheimer Chapter NICE! 2026 Spring Native Plant selection\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Plant of the Month February 2026<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLnQ4YzVYU3FOSDk4\" data-date=\"1769379849\" data-video-id=\"t8c5XSqNH98\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t8c5XSqNH98\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/t8c5XSqNH98\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/t8c5XSqNH98\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/t8c5XSqNH98\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/t8c5XSqNH98\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/t8c5XSqNH98\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"t8c5XSqNH98\" data-video-title=\"POTM Jan 2026\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Goldenball Leadtree is a small tree or large shrub, up to 15 feet tall, native to the western part of the Edwards Plateau, the Davis and Chisos mountains and New Mexico, where it is found in rocky, limestone areas and dry canyons.  It gets many small (1\/2\u201d to 11\/2\u201d) golden-yellow globe shaped blooms, mainly in spring but also intermittently through summer and into fall, especially after a rain.  Butterflies and bees enjoy the flowers. Typical of plants in the legume family, it has small pods of seeds following the flowers.  The attractive light green foliage is open enough to allow sun loving plants to grow beneath the tree.\n\nIn its native habitat, Goldenball Leadtree is usually found mixed with other small trees in scattered groups.  It is heavily browsed by deer, leading to its scarcity.  In the wild, it is often a multi-trunked tree, and some people consider this a preferred landscape form.  However, it can also be trained to be a single-trunked tree.  Its branches are thin and brittle so it benefits from an annual pruning in winter (January), to shape the tree and also to allow the remaining branches to become stronger.  \n\nGive this tree a dry, rocky location in full sun or part shade.  It must be protected from deer.  Because of its weak branches, it should also be protected from strong winds.  It can be found at some native plant nurseries.  It is also easily started from seed.\n\nGoldenball Leadtree is a NPSOT Lindheimer Chapter NICE! 2026 Spring Native Plant selection.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >POTM Jan 2026<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLk14cFFrZHVmaDlz\" data-date=\"1769377041\" data-video-id=\"MxpQkdufh9s\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MxpQkdufh9s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/MxpQkdufh9s\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MxpQkdufh9s\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MxpQkdufh9s\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MxpQkdufh9s\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MxpQkdufh9s\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"MxpQkdufh9s\" data-video-title=\"Jan26Chapter Meeting\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"A Balancing Act: Managing Aquatic Plant Communities as Habitat in the San Marcos River\nSpeaker Emily Lorovic\nEmily Lorkovic is a Wildlife and Fisheries Biologist at the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. Her work focuses on aquatic habitat restoration, endangered species management, and long-term stewardship of the San Marcos River. Her background lies in stream restoration, aquatic invasive species, and freshwater mussels.\nPresentation summary\nRather than focusing on individual plant species, this talk will look at aquatic plant restoration in the San Marcos River through a habitat and decision-making lens. I will discuss how we plan and manage plant communities in a system with multiple endangered species that have distinct and sometimes competing habitat needs, and how funding, regulatory requirements, and long-term maintenance shape those decisions. The goal is to share how we think through tradeoffs, uncertainty, and balance when managing native plant communities in a highly diverse but constrained river system.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Jan26Chapter Meeting<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLnR5aVlmeW9acGdJ\" data-date=\"1761925228\" data-video-id=\"tyiYfyoZpgI\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tyiYfyoZpgI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tyiYfyoZpgI\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/tyiYfyoZpgI\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/tyiYfyoZpgI\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/tyiYfyoZpgI\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/tyiYfyoZpgI\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"tyiYfyoZpgI\" data-video-title=\"Trees of Hope\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Drought, water restrictions and intense winter storms, oh my!

It is locally common in central Texas. Its natural habitat is dry slopes, disturbed prairies, and roadsides. It blooms in late summer through early fall and is an important nectar source for bees and butterflies. This plant is usually considered poisonous and thus is highly resistant to browsing by deer and other mammals. The plant is toxic if ingested and causes inflammation or blistering of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and contact with the plant can cause irritation of skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Sensitivity differs among individuals and toxicity can vary according to season, plant part, and stage of growth. Doves eat seeds without ill effects.\nSnow-on-the-Mountain can be propagated from seeds sown in the spring or fall. A fast grower, this plant typically reaches 1 to 3 or more in height and 1 to 2 feet wide. Although it prefers moist soils and part shade, it is considered drought resistant and is adaptable to various soil types including limestone and loamy soils. Snow-on-the-Mountain may be confused with snow on the prairie Euphorbia bicolor. Snow-on-the-Mountain leaves are long, oval, nearly hairless, and come to a blunt point. The upper leaves usually have a distinct white margin. Snow-on-the-Prairie leaves are similar but more elongate.\nThe flowers are long lasting and the plant is a great selection for a wildflower meadow or as an addition to perennial borders as it readily self-seeds. It also makes an excellent cut flower but gloves should be worn when handling the plant to avoid direct contact with the milky sap. There is much to like about snow in the mountain, although it is sometimes considered an invasive weed outside its native range.\nSnow-on-the-Mountain is a NPSOT Lindheimer Chapter NICE! 2025 Fall Native Plant selection.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Plant of the Month Oct25 Snow-on-the-Mountain<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLlNQWjN4Z3h3RlZV\" data-date=\"1758312827\" data-video-id=\"SPZ3xgxwFVU\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SPZ3xgxwFVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SPZ3xgxwFVU\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SPZ3xgxwFVU\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SPZ3xgxwFVU\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SPZ3xgxwFVU\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SPZ3xgxwFVU\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"SPZ3xgxwFVU\" data-video-title=\"Plant of the Month Sep25\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Lindheimer Muhly is also known as Big Muhly.  It forms a 2\u2019 \u2013 5\u2019 tall fountain shaped clump of grass that makes an elegant specimen in the landscape. During the spring and summer it is a mound of blue green grass blades.  However, in late summer and fall the seed heads begin to appear, and it takes the form shown in the photo above.  This is a wonderful native substitute for the Pampas Grass that one often sees planted in non-native landscapes.\n\nLindheimer Muhly is endemic to the Edwards Plateau, and is usually found on limestone outcrops often near small streams.  While it enjoys some moisture, it needs a well drained soil in full sun.  Like most grasses, deer will usually leave this plant alone.  It does not need to be cut back each year, and in fact will grow back slowly when it is cut.  Old seed stalks can be broken off in the winter and dead leaves raked from the grass blades.  Birds use the leaves for nesting material, and eat the mature seeds. Lindheimer Muhly plants are commercially available, easy to transplant or can be started from seed.\n\nNote: Lindheimer Muhly is a NPSOT NICE!TM selection for Fall 2025.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Plant of the Month Sep25<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLldqdnlYZ3BCWlJN\" data-date=\"1755725394\" data-video-id=\"WjvyXgpBZRM\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WjvyXgpBZRM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/WjvyXgpBZRM\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/WjvyXgpBZRM\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/WjvyXgpBZRM\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/WjvyXgpBZRM\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/WjvyXgpBZRM\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"WjvyXgpBZRM\" data-video-title=\"Aug25 Meeting Presentation\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Presentation by Healey Giambalvo\nBringing Schoolyards to Life with Native Plants\nLearn how teachers, students, parents, and community volunteers can incorporate native plants into their school gardens and yards.

In 2021, Haeley published the book Native Plant Gardening for Beginners, available on Amazon.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Aug25 Meeting Presentation<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLk5Ua2k5U1ZNU09J\" data-date=\"1755720722\" data-video-id=\"NTki9SVMSOI\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NTki9SVMSOI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/NTki9SVMSOI\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/NTki9SVMSOI\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/NTki9SVMSOI\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/NTki9SVMSOI\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/NTki9SVMSOI\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"NTki9SVMSOI\" data-video-title=\"Plant of the Month Aug25\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Eve&#039;s Necklace is named for its long black seedpods which are constricted at each seed, giving the appearance of a string of beads. These seedpods form in late summer and fall, sometimes lasting well into winter. They follow clusters of fragrant pink flowers which bloom in the spring. Eve&#039;s Necklace is related to Texas Mountain Laurel (Sophora\nsecundiflora), and like Mountain Laurel its seeds contain a poisonous alkaloid. However, it differs from its cousin in that it is faster growing, deciduous and it will be\nbrowsed by deer. Eve&#039;s Necklace is native to the limestone soils of central Texas north into Oklahoma. It prefers dry, well drained soils and does well in sun or part shade. When crowded among other plants it will be a spindly shrub. However, given an open space it can develop into an attractive 15&#039; - 30&#039; ornamental tree with a rounded crown. Although not as well known as its relative, Texas Mountain Laurel, Eve&#039;s Necklace is worthy of consideration as a landscape plant, and can be found in native plant nurseries. Since flower color varies, it is best to select plants while they are in bloom. Transplanting from the wild is best done in the winter when it has dropped its leaves. It can also be grown\nfrom scarified seed to a six foot tree in three years.

It is usually covered with light blue flowers from spring through fall. This\nplant is a butterfly favorite and is especially attractive to Queen butterflies, shown in the\npicture. It is native to the Edwards Plateau, the Trans Pecos region of West Texas and\nwest to southeastern Arizona. Here it is found in gravelly soils that get seasonally\nflooded. It can thrive in dry, well drained soils in part shade, but it does enjoy occasional\nwatering. The more sun it gets the more water it will need. The plant goes dormant in\nwinter and the old, woody shoots can be cut back before new growth re-emerges in the\nspring. It will spread to several feet via shallow underground roots, but doesn\u2019t become\ninvasive. It is browsed by deer.\nA similar plant, Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinium), is native to the moist woods\nof East Texas. These two species can easily be distinguished by the shapes of their\nleaves. Gregg\u2019s Mistflower has divided, palmate leaves (it is sometimes called Palm-leaf\nMistflower), while Blue Mistflower\u2019s leaves are somewhat triangular and bluntly toothed.\nGregg\u2019s Mistflower is a NPSOT Lindheimer Chapter NICE! 2025 Summer Native Plant selection\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >Plant of the Month June2025<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLk1QdnI0c19NRURn\" data-date=\"1751306664\" data-video-id=\"MPvr4s_MEDg\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MPvr4s_MEDg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/MPvr4s_MEDg\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MPvr4s_MEDg\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MPvr4s_MEDg\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MPvr4s_MEDg\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/MPvr4s_MEDg\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"MPvr4s_MEDg\" data-video-title=\"June Meeting 2025\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Presentation by Monica Maeckle\nDiscussing her new book \u201cPlants with a Purpose\u201d\n\nMonika Maeckle is a gardener, monarch tagger, recovering beekeeper, and curious student of nature who loves the whole life cycle. She\u2019s based in San Antonio.\n\nWith a long career in media and marketing, Maeckle founded the Texas Butterfly Ranch website and San Antonio\u2019s Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Festival. She and husband, Robert Rivard, founded San Antonio\u2019s independent news site, the Rivard Report, which later rebranded as the nonprofit San Antonio Report. She continues to serve as a contributor to the site.\n\nMaeckle raises butterflies and native plants in her Mariposario and urban garden as well as at her family\u2019s Llano River ranch. She, her family and friends have tagged 10,000+ monarch butterflies over the years, more than 60 of which have been recovered from the forest floor in Mexico.\n\nMaeckle worked closely with the National Wildlife Federation in 2015 to convince San Antonio to sign the Mayor\u2019s Monarch Pledge, resulting in the city\u2019 status as the nation\u2019s first Monarch Butterfly Champion City. In 2016, with lots of community help, she organized San Antonio\u2019s Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Festival, which occur each October during peak monarch migration season, attracting thousands of visitors. Social impact media site Nationswell profiled the event in a 12-minute documentary and named it \u201cOutstanding Solution of 2018.\u201d\n\nMaeckle also spearheaded a local pollinator habitat initiative, in an effort to create 300 pollinator habitats for San Antonio\u2019s 300th birthday. After exceeding its 2018 goal, the initiative expanded beyond San Antonio, and now boasts 1,200+ registrants.\n\nHer first book, The Monarch Butterfly Migration Its Rise and Fall, was published in August of 2024 by the University of Oklahoma Press. Her second book, Plants with Purpose: Twenty-Five Ecosystem Multitaskers, was published in May of 2025 by Texas A &amp; M University Press.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >June Meeting 2025<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"sby_play_btn\" >\n                        <span class=\"sby_play_btn_bg\"><\/span>\n                        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>                    <\/div>\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVV0X1pSXy1xd0lsblhCa0tzVVRZNEZRLjZnWVhudlNfRHlJ\" data-date=\"1743092603\" data-video-id=\"6gYXnvS_DyI\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6gYXnvS_DyI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6gYXnvS_DyI\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6gYXnvS_DyI\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6gYXnvS_DyI\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6gYXnvS_DyI\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6gYXnvS_DyI\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"6gYXnvS_DyI\" data-video-title=\"Lindheimer March Meeting 2025\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lindheimerchapternpsot.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Debbie Kyrouac began her interest in plant ecology and plant taxonomy during her graduate work at Texas Tech Univ.
