When I started this skull the Texas Wildflower season was in its late stages. The Mexican Hat flowers are always the last to come up before the heat of the summer sets in and kills all the green vegetation from the spring. There are 6 beaded Mexican hat flowers, 2 salvia variants under the horns on the sides, some leafs, grass, and vegetation around the snout.
