Texas Bluebonnets
Lupinus texensis (Fabaceae)
A hardy winter annual native to Texas. Adopted as the "State Flower of Texas", this is the most commonly seen variety along roadsides and in uncultivated pastures throughout the state. This grouping was in an empty lot next to my house. With the recent rains we have had the timing was perfect for a bumper crop this year!
