Basics of Bluebonnets

Some main species of bluebonnets are found growing naturally only in Texas and no where else in the world.
The Bluebonnet, Texas State Flower, is a major attraction in Central Texas during springtime. Bluebonnets grow in half wooden barrels, Raised
flower beds, hanging baskets, mixtures, on hillsides, roadsides and meadows.

The mildly fragrant racemes on the Bluebonnet are in shades of lavender, 8-12cm long, and each raceme contains 25-40 florets. Each blue
bonnet flower floret is 1-2cm long and has a 3-6mm wide white banner spot in the center of the banner petal. This spot often turns to reddish
purple with age, but the Bluebonnet florets sometimes shrivel before the color change takes place.

The pedicel of the Bluebonnet flower has a length of 6-12mm and the flower spike stem’s diameter is 2-4mm. The Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus
texensis) specie is the favorite of the Texans.
