This pic sent me right to a search engine. There I discovered that the Texas Bluebonnet is a lupine! So now I have a question. Is it a plant that grows tall of does it stay low to the ground?
The reason I am asking is we have lupines here in Maine and ours are giants! Here I thought a Bluebonnet was a pretty little flower that looked...well...like a bonnet! Now I find the romantic vision in my head is a lupine!!
Either way...BEAUTIFUL pic and so evocative of summer for us Mainahs! Ours come in blue and pink and white and purple and they are everywhere, usually about two feet tall or more and very showy.
(P.S. Working here, 1:30 a.m eastern...and it is SNOWING and freezing cold! I am soooooooooooo ready for spring!
