I love those bluebonnets, Josephine. Sandland bluebonnets, Lupinus subcarnosus, grow naturally in some of our pastures, but I haven't been able to grow the prettier Texas Bluebonnet. I want to try again the fall. I shutter to think of all the bluebonnet seed I've killed over the years.

Indian Paintbrush, Castilleja indivisa, contrasts well with bluebonnets. Colors seem to vary from pale orange to scarlet orange. They're beautiful, but so expensive.
