They do--you can buy them in flats at Lowe's for sure, and probably most nurseries.

I hope I am wrong but I would be surprized if we have a good Bluebonnet season this year.
I came searching for this very topic. I noticed that the bluebonnets were very scarce this year and looks like they are gone now, what few there were!

I remember taking my kids out on April 1st last year to get pics, and they were gorgeous. This year is very sparse. I am noticing some wildflowers still, but not anywhere near past years.

(Is this pic ok? Do I need to post it differently so it's not so large?)

My two most-treasured pictures of my kids are ones taken in the wildflowers! My youngest was just a baby, and it looked like he was picking one to eat it. It's the cutest thing. Treasure this one--it's adorable, Turtle Mom!

*are you the turtle cuz he doesn't look like one?*

I'm a mom of 3, not just him! I have pics of all three and I love them all! Note the turtle outfit though? I just love turtles, have a box turtle, swam with sea turtles etc. So I'm the turtle I guess!

Well, we weren't very welcoming, were we? Looks like you'll have to wait another year for the blues......what a bummer! They are so pretty!!

Maybe someone with more wildflower knowledge can be more optimistic about seeing them this year? Anyone???
