Wildflowers

The spring season brings an explosion of color with the appearance of various wildflowers. To experience this amazing display of color while getting a bit of exercise, visit the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, where you can spot early spring wildflowers and desert flora, hike along trails and dirt roads, and even catch sight of desert wildlife.

Another notable spring flower is Lupinus texensis, aka the Texas Bluebonnet. Standing just over 12 inches, bluebonnets are a mighty big flower in the hearts of Texans.  To see these beauties in person, check out Texas Blue Bonnet Sightings for the latest sighting information.
