The Bluebonnets have arrived!
Best viewed Large. This is the first bluebonnet we've seen this year and found this one on our walk this morning. So even though it's only halfway open, here it is. This is the Lupinus texensis variety of bluebonnet. There are five state flowers in Texas and they're all Bluebonnets. They're different varieties that grow around the state. This variety is the one that is found in Central Texas and is generally thought of as the most recognized bluebonnet. Soon we should see fields of bluebonnets and Indan paint brushes and other wild flowers that make it look like God's palette strewn across fields.
