A dedication ceremony of the Mollie Steves Zachry Texas Arboretum will be held Saturday, May 30 by the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center of The University of Texas at Austin.

Little rain last fall means Texas bluebonnets and other early spring wildflowers will not be as impressive as last year’s display, according to The University of Texas at Austin’s Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
