Bluebonnets

Every year for the past several decades, the Texas Department of Transportation has spent tens of thousands of dollars annually to plant nearly 30,000 pounds of bluebonnets and other wildflowers along roadways.

Despite drought, the state's official flower can still be seen this April blooming on Hill Country roadsides.

The Texas Department of Transportation plants more than 5,000 species of wildflowers and native grasses, including bluebonnets, along the state’s highways.

Centro San Antonio is planting bluebonnets downtown for the spring.

The ongoing drought in Central Texas impacted wildflower sprouts through the fall and winter. A different variety of wildflowers could crop up.

The blooming cycle for Texas' state flower is 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule because of earlier-than-usual warm weather, according to Texas A&M horticulturalist Michael Arnold.

The resilient state flower is able to withstand the cold. It's also a sign that wildflower season is coming.
