Bluebonnets

Lupinus texensis

Bluebonnets bloom first in the Texas Hill Country, best around mid-March; from there the season works its way on across the map, finishing around Ennis, late March. Here are both regions we track, in the order they open.

Each rung is one region's usual window; the deeper stretch is its best weeks. A rung lit violet is in bloom right now. Based on reports from iNaturalist naturalists.
