Native Plant Society of Texas
LaBahia Chapter

  

The Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT) is a non-profit organization with the goal to promote the conservation, research and utilization of the native plants and plant habitats of Texas, through education, outreach and example.

The LaBahia Chapter supports Brenham, Texas and surrounding areas including Brazos, Burleson, Colorado, Fayette, Waller and Washington counties.  We normally meet Quarterly on the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in January, April, July and October.  Most meetings will be held at the Student Center on the Blinn College campus or at the Antique Rose Emporium in the Chapel unless otherwise noted.  Our meetings are free of charge and open to the public.  Join us for informative discussions and guest speakers on native plants that are specifically suited to the distinctive and unique environments in this area and throughout Texas along with other topics that are of interested to our members.

Our Next Meeting:

Endangered Navasota Ladies Tresses

Presented by Ryan Hammons.

He has graciously agreed to provide us with a presentation
on NAVASOTA LADIES TRESSES for our April meeting! Ryan is currently
working toward completion of his masters degree in the Department of
Ecosystems Science and Management at Texas A&M University. He is
working with Dr Fred Smeins as they research the endangered Navasota
Ladies Tresses (Spiranthes parksii). Navasota Ladies Tresses are
native Texas orchids which which occur only in our central Texas
region. They are thought to occur in several of our local counties
including Washington, Brazos, and Grimes. This plant is listed as
endangered by the USFWS. Come out and learn to identify it when you
see it! Here is a link to some information about NLTresses.
