Traveling the hi-ways like I do, I get to see a lot of things that many people don't. Many times I'll make a mental note so I can share it with my friends here. Earlier in the spring, before things started greening up and leafing out, things were easier to spot. The problem is, by the time I get home to the computer, I either forget the location, or don't have the time to put it on here. In this case, a little of each. Finally, the last time I went through there, I put it in my notes so I'd remember this time.
About 10 miles east of Texarcana along HWY 82, there's a 3 mile stretch of native S. minors. At first I thought someone may have spread seeds, or planted them. (you know how ir-resistable that is to some of us) But when I saw some growing in a cow pasture, I knew then that they had to be native. If I had a place to pull that rig over off the road, I would have stopped. They were loaded with seeds.
