Bluebonnets in Texas

We love the bluebonnets in Texas!

Here is a brief history of the great little flower:

In, 1901, Texas adopted the bluebonnet as the state flower. Contrary to various folk stories and legends claiming that the plant originated outside the state, bluebonnets are native to Texas. In the 1930s the Highway Department began a landscaping and beautification program which included planting bluebonnets. Bluebonnets now grow along most major highways throughout the state. The flower usually blooms in late March and early April.
