Bluebonnets and Other Wildflowers Featured in Austin
Posted on Mar 15, 2010 under Culture | No CommentOne of the main cultural and entertainment aspects of the city of Austin that is frequently one of, if not the, first to be acknowledged by outsiders, is its music scene. Musicians from all over the country and the world hope to perform on an Austin stage, and more importantly on the famous PBS television program that is based there, Austin City Limits. However, what other people know and many of the tourists who visit the city quickly find out is that there is actually much more to the cultural attraction elements than what they had any idea about prior to their visit. Most of the great places to stay in Austin will have some quality information on various cultural attractions in the city.
Of course, there are also many people who are familiar with Ziker Botanical Garden and the Hamilton Pool Preserve and don’t need to visit the city to recognize other major cultural features, but a trip to Austin is generally eye opening and as surprising as it is entertaining and enjoyable. Many people arrive in the city to experience some great music and visit some of the famous live music clubs, or maybe arrive during the three day outdoor Austin City Limits Music Festival , which is another favorite for fans and musicians alike, and while these people are never disappointed, they almost always discover great aspects of Austin that they never before knew existed.
One of the first things many people notice either upon arrival to Austin or as they are first entering the city is the amount of beautiful flowers that line the streets and walkways. This is largely due to the former contributions of Lady Bird Johnson and the city’s continued love for and honor of her. One of her most famous life long efforts was focused on the beautification of the nation’s cities and highways and her hands on contribution to Austin’s beauty is forever remembered by the residents and continues to charm and captivate tourists as they enter and explore the city. The Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center at the University of Texas Austin is an excellent way to explore the bluebonnet and other wild flower passion of Ladybird Johnson and possibly even develop one of your own.
