Wildflower Sightings in Washington County

Yellow is the popular color at the
Giddings Stone Mansion in Brenham.

Spring is finally here - officially - and Washington County has a lot of wildflowers just waiting for the right about of sunshine to make them bloom. We usually have quite an array of bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, coreopsis, blue eyes, firewheels, and many others that brighten the roads during March, April and May.

These bluebonnets are at a house on Market St in Brenham
and are usually the first to bloom every year!

The bluebonnets in town have already bloomed and look really nice. Along the roadways there are Indian paintbrush becoming more and more full each day. And there are patches of bluebonnets starting to show, but they are short and dark so they are hard to see at 70mph, especially if you're the driver!

Fortunately for you, we keep a Wildflower Watch on our website to help inform you of what is blooming and where. You have to do a little reading, but we try to keep it as concise as possible. Currently, there isn't much to see, but the coming weeks should provide a lot of color.

Grape hyacinth (pictured), along with blue eyes & others
are at Old Baylor in Independence.

Check the Wildflower Watch on our site for details - bookmark it for easy access!
