Counting only the non-cultivated plants, there are 84 families, 348 genera, and 647 species known to be in the Tarrant County area. I am starting with this plant set and will adjust it as plants in the Villages of Bear Creek Park are identified, photographed, and entered into this database. Obviously, there are many more plants than shown here, never the less, this is a good starting sample. This project, with a start date of April 21, 2003, is to be completed as I have the time. Currently there are 250 photos for viewing - indicated by

The photos seen in the graphic above were taken January 12, during one of the rare snowfalls we have in north central Texas, and April 24, 2003 after everything had leafed out.
