Ever wonder where all these beautiful wildflowers come from? After all, unlike humans and other animals, plants can't just get up and move! Join Docent Naturalists Roberta and Jaime Cavazos and Paul Billig on this family-friendly hike along the Ipiwa Trail to learn the “how” and “why” of the life cycle of these amazing plants with their colorful diversity of flowers. Bring a light snack to enjoy as you are wowed by the botanical kingdom!
