Description
This large field of bluebonnets was found on a farm Near Ennis, Texas.
Bluebonnets have been loved since man first traveled the vast prairies of Texas. The early-day Spanish priests gathered the seeds and grew them around their missions. This practice gave rise to the myth that the padres had brought the plant from Spain, but this cannot be true since the two predominant species of bluebonnets are found growing naturally only in Texas and at no other location in the world.
The majestic scene of rolling hills painted blue by these wonderful flowers has become a trademark of springtime in Texas.
