Bluebonnet Time in Texas

Every year from March to May the roadsides in many parts of Texas burst into carpets of blue flowers.  These are bluebonnets, the Texas state flower, and seeds are sown along Texas highways by the Texas Department of Transportation to keep the annual show going.  We have several large fields of bluebonnets alongside Highway 19 between Riverside and Huntsville.  It is not uncommon to see Texans stopping their cars alongside the highway and taking photos of family members lying in a field of bluebonnets.
