There are many native plants that make stellar statements in the landscape. We are working with Damon Waitt of the LadyBird Johnson Wildflower Center to move our PNPC check list to their database. This is a work in progress. Check it out at:

and the plant list at http://www.wildflower.org/collections/collection.php?collection=Organization_1410
Check out the Tucker estate check list for a survey of the plants found on the property of the PNPC (text in blue is a 2009 update). you can visit the glossary of the Flora of East Texas and scroll down to Appendix 15 and 16. Plant profiles of some of our favorite natives are as follows and this is a work in progress! Enjoy!
