Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Josephine ![]() I've read and seen photographs about blue bonnets my whole life. I wonder if I'll ever get to see them in person. ALL THINGS PLANTS ~ Garden Art ~ Purslane & Portulaca ~ CUBITS ~ Trust in the Lord ~ Heart Strength ~ Find JOY at http://joyfultimestoday.com/ |

Josephine, what beautiful pictures! Every spring I look forward to seeing the bluebonnets! They are a beautiful sight, especially when they blanket a large area. vic, you should get some seeds and plant some. ![]() May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day --Native American Proverb |

Thank you Vicky and Christine. As much as I love Bluebonnets they don't seem to like my yard, either too shady, or too much clay, of too crowded so I have no luck with them. Luckily they grow very well along the highways south of Dallas and not far from my house, so I have to content myself when I get to take some good pictures on some years. I say some years because if the rain hasn't been forthcoming during the fall and winter, the Bluebonnets and other wildflowers won't be very good. I think that in other areas of Texas they are more reliable, at least I hope so. Nevertheless they are always an amazing sight when it all comes together and the miracle happens. ![]() Wildflowers are the Smiles of Nature. Gardening with Texas Native Plants and Wildflowers. |

They are so beautiful! It makes me want to bend the rule about planting only wildflowers that are native to my area. ![]() I garden for the pollinators. |
