Spring is just around the corner here in Texas, but no one has seen the state flower this year, which is quite odd—the bluebonnet, according to KXAN. The bluebonnet, Texas’s state flower, is a beautiful purple or blue species of the Lupinus genus, found in the southwestern part of the country. It’s known for the shape of its petals, which resemble the “bonnet” worn by women pioneers to shield themselves from the sun. Normally, you start to see the bluebonnets bloom at the very end of February through mid-March. However, Central Texas hasn’t seen many bluebonnets, raising questions like, “Where are the bluebonnets?”
