City of Austin to ban bluebonnets! Here's why…

April Fools!

That’s a blooming lie. Happy April Fools Day!  Right now, the state flower of Texas and a host of other wildflowers are popping up all around us. On a day trip from Austin, you’ll find spectacular bluebonnet crops in any direction, but we’ve got plenty right here in the Austin area.

Here are just a few spots to get your bonnet shots. But be careful! Make sure you’re completely off the road if you’re pulling over to take pictures.
