Happy Spring to Everyone! My pitbull Sharky protecting his Texas BlueBonnets in his yard!! ;)




The bluebonnet, a name common to several North American species of Lupinus, is the state flower of Texas. They typically grow about 0.3 m (1 ft) tall. The name is possibly derived from the shape of the petals of the flower and their resemblance to the bonnets worn by pioneer women to shield themselves from the sun.

Texas A&M University researchers were successful in breeding red and white strains, creating a Texas state flag in bluebonnets for the 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial.

On March 7, 1901, Lupinus subcarnosus (also known as Buffalo clover) became the only species of bluebonnet recognized as the state flower of Texas. However, Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) emerged as the favorite of most Texans. The flowers' deep blue blossoms can be seen from March through May in many areas of Texas. As a result of this popularity, in 1971 the Texas Legislature made any species of bluebonnet the state flower.

  • Reminds me of the story of Ferdinand the Bull.  He didn't want to fight and butt heads with the other bulls, he just wanted to sit down and smell the flowers =)

  • Sharky: I wandered lonely as a cloud,

    That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

    When all at once I saw a crowd,

    A host, of golden daffodils... er... blue bonnets
