Bluebonnets
Many people, especially newcomers to Texas, do not realize that many of our favorite wildflowers that bloom in the spring, must be planted in the fall. That is true for Texas’ state flower, the Bluebonnet. (By the way, I just learned that the bluebonnet had a lot of competition for this honor. It seems that it had to win out over such hot competition as the open cotton boll and the blossom of the prickly pear cactus. Both of these flowers are beautiful, but would you really want them to be our state flower over the bluebonnet?)
