Texas Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets

The bluebonnet is the Texas State flower. Fields of bluebonnets, daisies and Indian paintbrushes attract thousands of weekend motorists to the Coastal Plains and Hill Country in March and April. Other distinctive wildflowers found in the Hill Country include Indian blankets, Mexican hats and winecups.

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin features Spring exhibits of Texas wildflowers and offers reports on the progress of the Spring bloom cycle across the state.
