The Blue Bonnets are our state flower, We really call them The Texas Blue Bonnets, and they love the sandy type soil, what kind of soil do you have Sterling if its kinda of sandy you might be able to grow some, next time I go into town I will see if I can find some seeds to send you. Are I will what untill these seed out and sent some of mine to ya. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Thanks guys  I was hoping for rain so that we would have a good spring this year, I didnt think that we had enough rain this year for the spring flowers but I was a bit wrong.
I just dont know how you guys up north do it having a long winter, all I can say is that ya'll are a really tough bunch. Just hope that we get rain during the summer months when we really need it. Thanks for the complements |

Location: Heart of Texas | Beautiful! The blubonnets are doing really well this year. The rain helped a ton. I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes on the road because I keep looking at the sea of blue, red and pink dotting the countryside. The pink flowers are phlox, I think. |

**************************************************************
You plant blue bonnet seeds in AUGUST ... under no more than 1/4 inch of dirt or just throw them out where you want a spot to grow and expand you a larger patch year after year |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I love the Texas Wildflowers. I can't believe how many different ones we have.
We had 5 turkeys come in at the back of our place and they then went to my neighbors. Never saw them right around us before.

We are keeping our sea of color well hidden under a layer of white stuff commonly refered to as snow. We were exploring frozen waterfalls and 5 foot drifts today. I'm jealous of the color and pretty flowers. |
