🪻Texas in Bloom: The Bluebonnet
First, I want to share a little bit about the photo above. I live in north Texas and our state flower is the Texas Bluebonnet. During this time of year, you can see these vibrant blue flowers with white tips blooming along roadsides, fields, and highways. Many people take photos in the bluebonnet fields—it’s a beloved tradition in Texas!
If you’re ever in Texas during spring, be sure to look out for these stunning flowers.
