In S. Texas, the bluebonnets are showing, along with some other wild flowers! So beautiful. They are a little sparse because we need rain badly, but nevertheless they are perking up the landscape. (Also the mountain laurel and red bud trees.) I am so thankful for Lady Bird Johnson's vision.

I have (I think) Bluebonnets and they're lovely. Of course they don't grow as well here in the cool, rainy NW but I always cheer up when I see the leaf blades piercing up through the ground.

Blue 'nits' (my late MIL's name for them) is one of the things I miss about living in Texas. We tried growing them in both CA and here in GA, but no luck. (Although, I do have a front lawn full of violets; don't want to have my yard guy mow because I like the violets; maybe next week).
Helen saw her first 'nit's on HWY 281 outside Alice. Fields and fields of bluebonnets with cows standing knee deep in them. That's when I would have liked to have had a camera in the car.

I've never had much luck growing them. The best fields are along the highways where they grow naturally. And I've always heard it depends on the fall rains in Sept. and October to germinate the seeds correctly. They won't mow along the highways until the plants ""go to seed"" in the Spring. I'm passing big fields of them that I know have been there at least 30 years.

Planted some around our fishing pond years ago - this year they are very thick. Can't wait for them to open. Nothing like fishing in a field of bluebonnets.

My DIL is from Texas and I love visiting Texas in the springtime. Seeing fields, or road medians, of bluebonnets blooming is such an incredible sight.

DH and I just got back from a week in Texas this afternoon. This is the first time I have been there in the Spring, and the Bluebonnets were lovely along the roadsides. I also liked to see them mixed with the orange flowers, Indian Paint Brush, I think is the name.
