Willow Loop Texas Hill Country Scenic Drive part fiveWillow Loop Scenic Drive north of Fredericksburg deep in the Texas Hill CountryWillow Loop is a 5-mile Hill Country scenic drive located 10-miles north of Fredericksburg. April 13, 2007. Our motorhome is in Lady Bird Johnson City Park 3-miles south of Fredericksburg on SR-16; $20 FHU including cable with paved sites. We tend to like Lady Bird Johnson City Park when we are in Fredericksburg because the RV-sites are situated under the canopy of mature pecan trees but there are several more that are good as well. The Fredericksburg RV-Park on Highway street is another good park but it cost more and doesn't have mature trees that provide shade. On this day we decided to do "Willow Loop", a scenic drive 10-miles north of Fredericksburg, that wanders through some spectacular Hill Country scenery. Willow Loop seems to encompass much of the diversity of the Texas Hill Country in creeks, granite and marble outcroppings in the normal limestone bedrock of the area.

This unique flower is a green-flowered milkweed. I suspect it will host monarch butterfly caterpillars later in the year. The bloom is different from any milkweed that I have seen. I don't think it opens any more that that.
