Meet the Texas prairie dawn-flower (Hymenoxys texana). It is an endangered plant that blooms between February and April and every flower matters. VIDEO: Meet Jan, our expert leading recovery of the Texas prairie dawn-flower https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIfehRK3C8Y Federal and state partners have conducted Texas Prairie Dawn flower surveys since the 1980s. Private landowners have assisted with these surveys wherever it was found on their properties. In 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Texas Coastal Ecological Services Field Office conducted an inventory to gather population numbers and understand threats to the plant’s continued survival. Loss of habitat to development and exotic and invasive species are the main threats to this diminutive plant whose continued existence is an indicator of healthy ecosystems in Texas. It is with the help of private landowners and other important federal and state partners that the Texas prairie dawn-flower will continue to live on.
