During February and March each year, East Texas area is treated to millions of blooming daffodils and other flowers at Helen Lee's Daffodil Garden. We highly recommend a trip to see the gardens and walk among the blooming flowers, dogwood trees and redbud trees. And don't miss Lake Josephine and the log cabin on the grounds near the lake. The gardens are located a short distance south of Gladewater.
Shown below are a few photos of the daffodils and other wildflowers blooming during our trip to the gardens in March 2010.
Gladewater is an easy drive north of Tyler on U.S. Highway 271. It's a great place for exploring East Texas history, and is known for its large number of antique stores, antique malls, and festivals. Be sure to view our other photo album about Gladewater.
Tyler is the Rose Capital of America, the location of the Tyler Rose Garden, the nation's largest municipal rose garden, and the site of the Annual Tyler Rose Festival held each October.
A highlight of the spring season in East Texas is the 8-mile long Tyler Azalea Trail guiding visitors through neighborhoods of brick streets, residential gardens and historic homes.
And be sure to view our East Texas Butterfly Photo Gallery.
