The formation attracted early settlers ' attention to the area and is often referred to simply as "the mound." The Mound, part of the Texas blackland prairies, is typically covered by large bluestem, small bluestem and Indian grasses.[31] During the flowering seasons, tens of varieties of flowers can grow on its slopes, often supported by water retained by gilgai formations.[32] Although surrounded by commercial and residential development, The Mound is owned and maintained by The Mound Foundation, a non-profit organization. For many years, the group has advocated a controlled burn on The Mound[33] and expressed relief when an accidental New Year's Eve fire at the end of 2011 for the first time in years spurred the growth of wildflowers.[34]e whatever you want.
