I took a walk out back after work tonight. We’ve been keeping an eye out for signs of bluebonnets. Usually by late Fall they have started to leaf out. Unfortunately, this year they seem to be getting a very late start.
Last year was a phenomenal year for bluebonnets. I can’t wait to see how our wildflower patch grows this year.
A few weeks back I noticed a ton of seedlings in the way back, each showing 2 tiny round leaves. I looked them up online and found that indeed they are the cotyledon for the Texas bluebonnet.
So, I’ve been on the lookout for the first few leaves making an appearance.
Overall this guy is is about an inch and a half wide.
Grow, baby, grow!

Wonderful shot! We saw bluebonnet leaves at the San Antonio Botanical Garden yesterday, but I haven’t seen them in my yard yet. My fingers are crossed for another good year!
I know, me too! i’m also excited to see the indian paintbrush that comes up.
Beautiful! We only have white on the ground here in the northeast!
Hang in there, Spring is on the way! 🙂 thanks for visiting
Love the little hairs on the bluebonnet. Great shot.
Thanks 🙂 they are sooo tiny right now.
Oh I am envious that you have little sprouts coming up.
I love the bluebonnets. 🙂 I can’t wait to see how many make it to bloom.
Wow! Great shot. It looks about a foot and a half wide!
thanks 🙂 This little Canon Powershot D10 does a reasonable job on macro and manual focus shots.
This is such a cool picture! And lucky….all I have is snow on the ground and “sleeping” plants underneath. Fingers crossed Spring/Summer comes quickly! Happy Friday! xx
happy Friday to you too! May the snow melt soon in your neck of the woods. 🙂
Thanks for that little sign of spring! Nice photo.
thanks for stopping by. I can’t WAIT for spring.
Oh how exciting. Spring is nearly here.
