Texas is famous for its wildflowers and many photographers gravitate to the open fields in the spring to capture the spectacular colors. The most popular flower is the Texas Bluebonnet adopted and made famous by Lady Bird Johnson. One of the best resources for information on Texas Wildflowers is the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center located in Austin. I was able to leverage their Texas native plant database for Plant identification and content.
