Yeah, the cattlemen are ecstatic. I tell my niece in east Texas that it looks like Ireland around here for about two months out of the year. She tells me that it looks like Ireland for all BUT two months out of the year where she lives. According to her, they're having a heck of a bluebonnet year there too. I was there one year for bluebonnet season. They look like lupine to me.

Notice how clean the air is in these recent pictures. Remote work needs to stay once COVID passes.

If we could get it to stay cool and keep raining periodically all summer, that would help a whole lot, too.

They ARE a variety of lupine. Never have understood why they have a different name in Texas.

I normally just see the purple ones around here, but this year I have noticed a couple of different colors, more of a magenta and a lighter pink as well. Maybe they're hybridizing.

Yep, it's the Texas state flower. It's kinda funny when I showed a Texas friend one of my pictures of Big Sur and he was surprised to see so many 'bluebonnets.' I looked at him kinda funny and said those are lupine and they grow like crazy here.

Wouldn’t be right now pictures, but if they were small enough, I have a few gems from my travels back through my home state.

Howdy jcp123! Been to Tyler a few times. My niece has a ranch in Grand Saline. I love Tyler. Very pretty city. I'll probably wind up in that area eventually as I become more decrepit in my old age as my niece wants me to come live with her so she can mother hen me. Please post your bluebonnet pictures. Don't you guys also have a red variety of them?

I'm sure the bluebonnets are lovely but this is a thread for photos of California. Please post your Texas photos in the Texas forum.

OK, no worries mate; however, I don't have any Texas photos so I can't post them and the poster I was responding to was offering to post photos from an earlier time when he was in California. Would like to see what the red bluebonnets look like though so I'll wander on over to the Texas forum and do a search.
