THE Flower Mound is actually a big hill that is covered in Texas wildflowers during the springtime and is the namesake for the city of Flower Mound. The mound is fenced off and has a historical marker and information plaque on the gate so you can read a little bit on the history. It’s a neat and kitcshy little historical artifact right in the middle of this sleepy little bedroom suburb. It’s not really amazingly beautiful or fun, but it’s neat enough that it warrants a stop by if you are in the area during the springtime.

Beware, education and history ahead: The Town of Flower Mound derived its name from it, it rises 650 feet above sea level, and it stands 50 feet above the surrounding countryside. Because early pioneer settlers used The Mound as a hay meadow and never plowed, the wild flowers were conspicuously abundant in wet springs. However, wildflowers and native prairie grasses flourish throughout the year. The non-profit Mound Foundation has identified more than 175 species of wild flowers. There is your history lesson for the day, now you have one more place to take the kiddo’s in the spring, :)
