They do grow wild around here if you're looking for them. There all over the Hill Country, for sure, and also, there's some growing wild on the lower level of I35 in downtown Austin haha.

Just wanted to say that the forums have gotten awful slow the last few months. I guess with fewer new projects to discuss, people are spending less time posting. I miss when there was more action.

I think it's because of the new layout and threads are harder to find. Petition to return to the old layout!

Never seen them before, and I've been here over 30 years. But I'll take your word for it that they're out there somewhere.

Head westward out toward the Hill Country and you'll start to see them. They like to grow on the sides of hills with the rock face exposed.

Yeah, I've seen those. They're very adaptable plants, as I've had one growing in my yard in Alabama for years.
