Texas is famous for its colorful wildflowers. We would be remiss if we didn’t create an episode to honor the Texas wildflowers. For those lucky enough to come to Texas, try to make the trip in the spring. For those who can’t come to Texas, at least we have an episode to talk about bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes, and Indian blankets.
| A: | I’ve been thinking, Tamara, if they are wildflowers, why do you have to plant them? Tava aqui pensando, Tâmara, se as flores são silvestres, por que você tem que plantar elas? | |
| B: | Well, here in Texas, they grow wild, but you can plant them in your yard in the fall. Bom, elas crescem selvagens aqui no Texas, mas você pode plantá-las em seu quintal no outono. | |
| A: | But the wildflowers bloom in the spring, right? Mas as flores silvestres florescem na primavera, certo? | |
| B: | They do, but the actual plants grow all winter long. Sim, mas as plantas mesmo crescem durante todo o inverno. | |
| A: | Can I just throw the seeds on the grassy lawn in the front yard? Posso simplesmente jogar as sementes no gramado do jardim da frente? | |
| B: | Actually, no. It’s best to plant seeds directly on the soil, with full sun, and good drainage. Na verdade, não. É melhor plantar sementes diretamente no solo, com sol pleno e terra com boa drenagem. | |
| A: | Do you have a favorite? Qual é a sua favorita? | |
| B: | My favorites are the bluebonnets. I love to see them along the highways as I drive around town. As minhas favoritas são as bluebonnets. Adoro vê-las ao longo das rodovias enquanto dirijo pela cidade. | |
| A: | Me too, and I really like to see a mixture of the flowers. Eu também, e gosto muito de ver uma mistura de flores. |
