Description
Adopted as the "State Flower of Texas", this is the most commonly seen variety along roadsides and in uncultivated pastures throughout the state. In 1987, Lady Bird Johnson pushed Sen. Lloyd Bentsen of Texas to amend the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act to require a quarter of every one percent of federal funds spent on landscaping roadsides be used for planting native wildflowers.
