Bluebonnet wildflowers near Llano, Texas
It’s late in the season for scenes like this near Llano, Texas. But in early spring, and peaking in April, the bluebonnet bloom turns many fields in the Lone Star state into acres of vibrant blue. Texas native Lady Bird Johnson encouraged Texans to plant bluebonnets and other native flowers along their state’s highways. If you find yourself driving in Texas and notice flowers outside your window, thank the state’s Department of Transportation, which sows 33,000 pounds of wildflower seeds along 79,000 miles of roads each year.
