Texas Native Shrubs is a collection of original photographs taken by Mr. Benny Simpson, Texas naturalist and plantsman extraordinaire, and long time researcher at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in Dallas. He devoted the majority of his 40 year career with Texas A&M to locating, propagating, and growing plants of ornamental merit adapted to the harsh Texas landscape.
