What Grows in Texas?

My mom recently asked me what the gardens were like in Texas. What do people grow here? I did not inherit my mother's love of gardening so I haven't really paid attention until now. I snapped a few shots of what we see in our "garden". 





Earlier in the spring, I noticed some pretty blue wild flowers growing beside the highway. Ok to tell you the truth, I didn't really notice them until I saw people on multiple occasions taking family photos amongst them. I learned quickly that they were Texas bluebonnets. And here I initially mistook the state flower, the pride of Texas, as a bunch of flowery weeds on the side of the highway. Like I said, I didn't inherit my mother's love of gardening.
