Description
Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes often grow side by side in Texas fields of spring.
A hardy winter annual native to Texas, the bluebonnet is the "State Flower of Texas". It is the most commonly seen variety along roadsides and in uncultivated pastures throughout the state. The flowers are densely arranged on a spike with a characteristic ice white terminal tip.
The Indian paintbrush is an upright, hairy annual, perennial or biennial herb native to Texas with single erect stems and a slender taproot. The terminal red-orange flower is a misconception. Actually the flower is tiny, creamy white to pale yellow, encircled by the red-orange leaf-like bracts.
