I also mentioned previously, during the Spring Break time Erik was here, we went and saw lots and lots of Blue Bonnets and Indian Paint Brush. Along with other wild flowers mixed in here and there...
Each year, I try to take a photo of the top view, looking down into the blossom ...
note: The pink flower is evening primrose, orange is Indian Paintbrush, blue bonnets of course, and the yellow flower is a type of daisy[?]
Just gorgeous! I always wait for anyone in Texas to post the Bluebonnets. And I don't think I have ever seen a shot taken from the top, it is so cool!!! This place is a riot of colors!
ReplyDeleteNot only pretty to drive by, but VERY pretty to walk among the colors!
DeleteWow, they are all so pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing flowers around here
ReplyDeleteI bet you do look forward to Spring!
DeleteReading a book now set in Texas and how nice to see the Bluebonnets so frequently mentioned. That one looking down into the flower has a kaleidoscope effect.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the book? Fiction or non-fiction?
Deletethanks for the flower show, it helps lift the spirits. this shelter in place makes me crazy even if I don't have anywhere to go, just knowing I can't makes me want to... I do have to go get bob's hearing aid repaired because his not hearing is driving me nuts
ReplyDeleteHere too. Bud is hard of hearing & when I have to repeat occasionally I get frustrated. Mostly, 'cause he doesn't pay attention.
DeleteAlong with others with common sense, we are homebound. I think I'll have the cleanest abode in the state after this is over! Your pretty flower photos give hope because now it's mud and rain here! Not a bloom in sight - yet!
ReplyDeleteSo far, we have no danger & they say we're safe walking, biking & hiking. I continue to leave for my daily walks. And then sometimes some HAVE to go out for medss, etc.
DeleteThank you! I'm glad you told me what the other flowers are called, since I was wondering as I was enjoying them. Beautiful! :-)
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy the blue bonnets on the banks of the highways.
DeleteI used to dream of a trip to Texas when the bluebonnets were in bloom. I love the mix of orange and blue. I agree with Ark. Patti about the kaleidoscope effect.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a pretty sight.
DeleteI've never seen a blue bonnet from an Anni's eye view nor evening primrose come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Well now, you can always rely on Anni for something special. (jk)
DeleteThey are all pretty but that bluebonnet is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey're a favorite spring wildflower in our house.
DeleteAll those flowers together like that are just stunning.
ReplyDeleteIt makes a beautiful landscape!
DeleteI came over to see those TX bluebonnets....oh how I love them! We are so dry that our wildflowers are quite as brilliant this year. Love seeing all these beautiful blooms! Stay safe and healthy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Anni! I always look forward to photos of the Bluebonnets.
