At the retention pond the cattails are pretty beat up: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/cattails+against+the+sky.jpg.html There is a growing wine industry in the hill country but this grapevine is just annoying: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/grape+vine+and+stormy+sky.jpg.html The Beautyberry bush is a native and quite resilient to drought. The flowers are discrete: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/beauty+berry+in+bloom.jpg.html This vine didn't get enough water this summer: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/out+of+control+wall+covering.jpg.html Some species do pretty well even in very tough environments: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/life+on+the+rock+wall+is+hard.jpg.html Just layers of green: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Wednesday+Weeds/duckweed+layered+in+green.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
