Native Plants
Knight, Marilyn McBroom
Marilyn McBroom Knight got her first 35mm from her sister when she started college in 1972. Since then she has lived with a camera in her hands taking pictures of people, places, animals, and flowers. Her mother raised her to look for the beauty in nature and the out of the ordinary things that nature provides. For 11 years she lived in Argentina, South America, as a missionary, where she mostly took pictures of babies, parties, church gatherings, weddings and 15th birthday parties.10 years ago she and her husband moved to the Texas Hill Country where she began making a pictoral collection of all the wild flowers she saw in order to learn to identify them. In a year or two she photographed and dry pressed over 200 flowers that she compiled into a collection of scrapbooks. In 2006 she began training for Master Naturalists of Texas and with a new digital camera volunteered to help with the project of Virtual Herbarium of the Hill Country Master Naturalists. Over the past 5 years she has photographed and documented over 600 species of wildflowers, trees and grasses.
You could say that wildflowers are her passion.
