These flowers bloom en masse from late March to early May, cloaking highways and meadows in vibrant shades of blue. Known scientifically as Lupinus texensis, the bluebonnet was designated the official state flower of Texas in 1901. Every spring, locals and tourists alike are drawn to the Bluebonnet Trails in Central Texas, which boast some of the most spectacular displays of these flowers in the region. This annual bloom not only provides a scenic explosion of color but also plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem as a source of nourishment for bees and other pollinators.
