“I have watched many suns and moons before you came” 2017 The Texas Madrone... “the sacred tree of the Hill Country”, dating to ancient times in the Trans-Pecos mountains and Edwards Plateau. Considered by some scientists to be a “relict”, it can take a century or more for it to reach mature height of 20-25 feet! Their smooth cinnamon - brown bark has given them the name “Lady’s legs” and “Naked Indians”. Sketched west of Dripping Springs, Texas. #woodblockprint #darylhowardart #japanesewoodblockprint #art #printmaking #fineart #printmaker #madrone #trees #hillcountry #texastrees #texas #transpecos #sacredtree #relict #century

#Flameleaf_sumac #Rhus_lanceolata in #berry right now. Shown here a few old blooms, #pinnately compound foliage and #berries which form a dense panicle. This #native #Texas tree is beautiful, hardy, very drought tolerant and likes rocky limestone soil, woodland edges and prairies, and if allowed will grow into small thickets. #Edible and #medicinal. Foliage turns orange to bright red in the fall, thus the name Flameleaf. Red berries follow creamy white #summer blooms. The ripe #berries are tart and you can make a tasty drink high in vitamin C by soaking the unwashed berries in warm water. Used in basket weaving, medicinal tinctures, teas, spice and poultices, I even use parts in my #natural #perfumery work. #texasflora #texastrees #naturegram (at Viriditas Botanicals)
