Bluebonnets in Washington County, Texas

🪻🌸April 14, 2026 Update🌸🪻

Bluebonnet season has come to a close. Most blooms have begun to dry out and go to seed - hopefully giving us another bountiful year of flowers next year. But we have way flowers more than bluebonnets! We will have lots of other wildflowers blooming for the next few months for you to enjoy.
The driving map will remain live but no additional flower pins will be placed. Instead we encourage you to enjoy the scenic drive all around the county using the blue path on the map. Along the way, you'll likely see blooms such as Coreopsis, Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blankets, Wine Cups and more!

We'll see you again for Bluebonnet season in 2027!

We have started to witness many bluebonnets going to seed as they begin to cycle out of bloom.
Additionally the grass and weeds are growing more rapidly than the flowers, hence they're getting covered up.

If you haven't seen them yet, visit soon. They won't be here much longer!

What bluebonnets we have won't last much longer! With rains expected later this week, we anticipate the grass and weeds mixed in with the flowers to begin outgrowing the flowers - covering them up and making them much less spectacular.
If you haven't seen them yet, come soon. They won't be here much longer!

Recent rains have helped to boost early blooms!

While we are not expecting a knockout season due to lack of rain this past Fall (when the flowers germinate and need water most),
there will still be some lovely patches of flowers this season. Check this page often for additional updates and sightings!
