Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
On our way back West I was blown away by the sight of these beautiful Bluebonnets blooming along I-20 in Dallas, Texas. Traffic was heavy but I didn't care, I pulled the truck and car hauler off the road, grabbed my camera and walked around clicking in all of their Spring glory!! Spotted this flag at the top of the hill, how appropriate:)
Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis) is a hardy winter annual native to Texas. Bluebonnet flowers are densely arranged on a spike with a characteristic ice white terminal tip. As the Texas Bluebonnet flower ages, one of the top petals turns purple-red. Blooming period of the Bluebonnet flowers is between March-May. It is the Texas state flower.
"The bluebonnet is to Texas what the shamrock is to Ireland, the cherry blossom to Japan, the lily to France, the rose to England and the tulip to Holland," wrote historian Jack Maguire.
