Happy Mondog! Bluebonnets from the Texas Hill Country.
TIL bluebonnets germinate due to the conditions of the temparature and weather, not the amount of sunlight they get or chemical composition of the ground.
Interesting how plants have a variety of different ways of germinating.
Saw my first bluebonnets of the season, growing wild at the curb of my office park. Pretty!
With the spring season beginning Thursday, bluebonnets already are emerging along highways and interstates around Houston.
Blue sky and bluebonnets
6.8km river walk on Tuesday on some new-to-us parts of the trail.
It was cloudy and windy (32+kmph, 20+mph), but it was great to see wildflowers blooming everywhere. The bluebonnets especially are having a great year.
I was lucky to get a sun break in the clouds just over a patch of bluebonnets. (1)
Also lucky to be able to get so close to the flowers (2, 3).

The plan today was to shoot the requisite annual horses’n’bluebonnets pix. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so Noly (the grey) was covered in indelible red mud stains, and Teddy (the black) still had a big green glitter shamrock on his butt from St Paddy’s that wouldn’t come off. Ted refused to stand still in the bloob patch, and Noly kept tryin’ to bite him. Furthermore, the girls complained, their outfits clashed; they just weren’t vibin’ with all these equestrian glamour-don’ts. But I managed to sneak in this snapshot, which I love because Ted’s totally giving Angelina Jolie Leg* and there is a bit of bluebonnet in the background #Horses #Bloomscrolling #Bluebonnets

Saw this person's house on my way back from The Woodlands going home.
They must have found every bluebonnet seed in NW Harris County and thrown it all over their front yard. There were a ton more that were out of frame.
Bluebonnet season is coming early this year, Houston. The blooming cycle for Texas' state flower is 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule because of earlier-than-usual warm weather, according to Texas A&M horticulturalist Michael Arnold.

I have been reliably informed, by @RainyDayWoman and others, that the Bluebonnets (lupines) are now blooming in south and central Texas.
This photo from nearly 20 years ago shows a roadside field in the Hill Country. Taken with my then new 5.1 Megapixel Olympus wide zoom camera (an upgrade from a 2 Mp Epson.)
