TEXAS WILDFLOWERS

The saying goes “April showers bring May flowers.” I guess no one bothered to tell that to the wildflowers here in Central Texas. Starting in early March the first bluebonnets start to bloom.

The Indian paint brushes start to bloom shortly after the bluebonnets.

These are just a few that are blooming right now. It is really a colorful time of year and the best time of year for weekend road trips. I hope ya’ll enjoy the pictures.
