With all the rain, the bluebonnets have come back

Maestro

Last years bloom was pathetic because of an extended drought of which we are still feeling the effects but it was a wetter winter and spring so the bloom is much better. Here is my first bluebonnet of the year.



A little bunch of them....



And an odd wildflower...

I never looked at it that way but you are correct. One more thing to look forward to.

The bluebonnet, lupinus texensis, the Texas state flower.

Come on home. We have plenty of room. Actually, I wish Texas would stop growing, at least in my area. But we'll take one more nature photographer.
