Texas Bluebonnets are a wildflower and the state flower of Texas. Earl Morris
brought back some seedlings during a trip to Houston in 2007. That winter, with
Gertrude Fox's blessing, I spread them at the Garden Center but only a few
plants took hold and bloomed the following spring.
This spring, however, quite a few bluebonnets appeared. These were either the
result of seeds dropped by the mother plant the previous season or slow
germinating seeds from the first planting. (Submitted by Earl Morris
