In Texas, each year's return of the bluebonnets is celebrated by all. Driving from our house to visit their newest cousin last weekend, Skye, Maddie, and Jordann watched for this particular patch of wildflowers which in a little Wildflower Preserve in their neighborhood. They were excited to find these in full bloom. There was much conversation and admonishment. "Don't ever pick them." "They are our state flower." "You can only pick them if you grow them in your back yard." I loved the chattering and laughter, and they loved arriving to be allowed to hold the new baby.
On our way back, I stopped just long enough to stick my camera out the window and photograph bluebonnets, thinking I would frame a small print for each of them so they could have bluebonnets in their room. They are always picking sweet bouqets for me, so I will enjoy giving them their own bluebonnets.
I really liked your photo and post. And giving your little dears framed bluebonnets sounds delightful to me! :)
