Description
Texas designated the bluebonnet as the official state flower in 1901. Bluebonnet flowers were named for the blue color and sunbonnet-shaped petals (though not all bluebonnets are blue). All State Flowers
Bluebonnets are not just the state flower - Texas has also designated an official bluebonnet tartan, bluebonnet city (Ennis, Texas), bluebonnet trail (also in Ennis), bluebonnet festival (Chappell Hill Bluebonnet Festival), and bluebonnet flower song.
Of course, there are other wildflowers that grow during the annual bloom and when I have photographed some and can identify them I will.

My official state flower - you captured it well!
Allen Beatty replied:
Thank you Lynnie. Unfortunately, the "crop" wasn't so good when we were there.

Would love to see this one day. Gorgeous shot!
Allen Beatty replied:
Thank you Rachel. The crop wasn't all that good when I was there. It's always hit or miss.
