bluebonnets
Lone Star blooms
Bluebonnets are wildflowers with dense clusters of blue blossoms, native to the American Southwest.
The Texas bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas, carpeting fields and roadsides each spring: We drove through Hill Country to see the bluebonnets.
The name comes from the flower's resemblance to a woman's bonnet.
