These beautiful watercolor images of Texas wild flowers were created in the 1840s and 1850s by Eliza Griffin Johnston, bound into a book, and given to her husband, General Albert Sidney Johnston for his birthday. In 1862, during the Civil War, General Johnston was killed at the Battle of Shiloh. In 1894, Eliza's friend, Rebecca Jane Fisher, of The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, began acquiring artifacts from the Republic of Texas era for a museum and asked Eliza for something that had belonged to the General. It was through those efforts that the chapter received the book, which remained in an Austin bank vault for many years. In 2008, the images were digitalized and the members wanted the beauty of the book to be shared with others. With more than 100 watercolor paintings and a description of each flower, this book is a treasure from Texas's past and an artistic gem.

More than 5,000 different kinds of wildflowers splash their colors across the shady forests, dusty plains, and salty coastline of the Lone Star State.

In Texas Wildflowers you'll discover that even the most common flowering plants have interesting stories to tell. For example, did you know that ... Wild indigo has been used to treat typhus, scarlet fever, and other illnesses. Some people think the tuber of the blazing star can cure the effects of a rattlesnake bite. Spider wort is sensitive to radiation and may help warn us about dangerous pollution. Some Indians used the downy seeds of the cattail to make diapers.
