Bluebonnet Trails Festival | Texas State Flower
Ranked #705 in Travel & Places, #30,544 overall
Bluebonnet Trails Festival | Texas State Flower
The festival is April 21-22, 2012, although the bluebonnet trails are open for exploration the entire month.
Worth noting: I just spent a weekend riding backroads in Texas on my motorcycle. All the rain we've gotten this spring has resulted in huge numbers of bluebonnets everywhere. Should be a great year for grabbing pictures!

Is It Really Illegal to Pick the Bluebonnets?
You just think you know the right answer on picking bluebonnets!!
It's common knowledge in Texas that it's illegal to pick bluebonnets - or at least common mis-knowledge. There are laws on the books about damaging plants on public property and others about damaging on private property, but nothing about picking bluebonnets. Ask anyone in government and they'll tell you - it's not illegal. However, it is rude. Leave them for everyone to enjoy.Don't believe me? Check out this article at Texas Twisted for the truth!
