Description
This field of bluebonnets was a striking sight to see with a sea of blue in front of the old barn.
On March 7, 1901, Lupinus subcarnosus became the only species of bluebonnet recognized as the state flower of Texas", however Lupinus texensis emerged as the favorite of most Texans. So, in 1971, the Texas Legislature made any similar species of Lupinus that could be found in Texas the state flower". Their deep blue blossoms can be seen from March through May in most areas of Texas.
[Genus Lupinus, family Leguminosae: several species, in particular the Texas bluebonnet (L. texensis) and the shy bluebonnet (L. subcarnosus).]

I lived in Texas for 20 years and one of the things I most looked forward to was the wildflower season - the bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, wild Gaillardia in the March sun. The hill country would just come alive with color and scenes like this were around every bend in the road. This is just gorgeous. F/V
