Although the Texas bluebonnet is the hands-down favorite of the springtime wildflower show, the Indian paintbrush is right behind it in popularity. With salmon and peachy pink colored brachts, it pops up in the midst of the blues and yellows of the wildflower fields and roadsides.
And, it may not be the Texas state flower, but it is the state flower of Wyoming.
As I am looking out my back window the field is full of these wonderful flowers. My grandmother taught me how to identify them when I was just a young child.
ReplyDeleteI grew up travelling all over the world, never in one place too long, so I did not have the benefit of that kind of childhood teaching. What a blessing to have your grandmother close by and so full of knowledge.
