1. Bluebonnets are such gorgeous flowers

I hate that they grow only in that ugly state (ugly government, not ugly countryside).

3. they do grow in other states

but in texas they were spread by lady bird johnson . thats why they are the state flower.
this is actually a poor year for them do to the lack of rain especially last fall. but muleshoe bend has a lot of them this year which happens from time to time,I think its from the lake retreating during the drought leaving fertile soil behind.

and even though i live hear my opinion os the state government is a lot worse than ugly.....
