Alan, On the way home Sunday we saw lots of people stopped along the side of the road taking pictures in the bluebonnets.  There were some very pretty spots.

Marchel:

Sometimes, I find myself stopping out in the middle of no where just to look at the grand site. This is the best time to live in Central Texas, everything is blooming. Have a great week Marchel

Hi Alan,

These wildflowers are absolutely wonderful, I just love seeing them here too.

Lynda:

Thanks for you comments, it is a great time of year here in the Hill country of Texas.

I don't think I have ever seen the one you said was rose angel or maybe I just haven't seen it for awhile.

Cheri:

We have some in out area. It is hard to tell the difference sometimes between some wildflowers as they look the same from a distance.

Howdy Alan

What a fine wildflowers post.

I really like Texas bluebonnets. I have always liked seen the wildflowers in

Texas when we would go to visit family in Deer Park.

Thank ya for stopping by to visit today.

Dale:

 Thanks for stopping by to smell the flowers. Ha. Always a pleasure to have you come by.

Alan - Thanks for sharing. It  would be nice if they would last longer. I know they put off mowing the hiways until most of them have bloomed. Have you been over to the Wildflower & Seed company at Fredricksburg?

Carl:

No I have not been there yet but have heard good things about it.

Alan, what wonderful flowers! Did you take these photos last Saturday? Scott and I managed to turn our

5 1/2 hour drive to about 7 hours! I kept saying oh, oh, oh, stop there. CLick, click. He was very patient

with me.

We had such a great time. I hope you and Michele are doing well and I will be seeing you Later in the

rain~Deb

If we ever had a wildflower contest, Arizona and Texas would probably tie.  :)  Of course, yours are probably bigger.  hehe

Debra:

Sound like you had a great time. Be sure and share your pictures with us. I borrowed mine, I have some that I have taken but have not downloaded to my computer yet.

Doreen:

Yes, Everything is BIGGER IN TEXAS. HA. Thanks for stopping by.

Alan - I love wildflowers! They are the most beautiful, easiest to cultivate and most eco-friendly! Great post!

Barbara-Jo & Bill:

Glad you liked it. Spring in the hill country is so beautiful. Have a great week.

There are some areas where they aren't mowing around the flowers to show them off and people are getting upset that they are looking at weeds surrounding the beautiful flowers.  I love all the wildflowers this time of year.

Donna:

Thanks for your comments. I agree, I love the wildflowers of Texas.

Nice post Alan,   Wine cups are my favorite.  But I love them all.

By the way Alan, the winecup is one of my absolute favorites and I've always wondered what they were called. Thank you Mr. Kickapatty.

Later in the rain~Deb

Alan,pretty pictures, and thanks for the information and names, I did not know the other two.  Guess I'll be doing mine at midnight tomorrow night, this wedding has kept me too busy, but it's been fun.  Ricki is her and going to the office with me tomorrow for her coaching.  I got your note and good job on getting organized.  Keep throwing stuff away.  Your desk should be completely clean and clutter free so you can focus!  Before you leave everyday get in the habit of putting everything in it's place, and off your desk.  When you walk in your desk should not have anything on it, period, no excuses, OK?  Do you have a schedule done yet?  If so please send that and your goals to me as well as the top 3 things you want to start on with me.  I'm going to the lake Thursday and need to know what to have with me so we can schedule some calls while I'm there.  My cell does not work up at Limestone so I need to get you the phone # before I leave.  When you e-mail me the other things, let me know how to reach you.  Keep up the good work, L

Ricki:

Hmmmmm, wine cup why would that be you and Debs favorite?????

Liz:

I feel energized when i hear you talk like that. So, now my office is clean. Not exactly organized but it is clean. I can see my desk and everything. I will send you my schedule and my cell phone number off line. Please know how much I appreciate your time. (no joke).

Alan, our wildflowers are drying up and dissappearing. How sad. Let's make it a point to make it till next spring to see more. Did someone say somehthing about wine cups?? hic?  I hope you're doing well and I'm looking forward to seeing all my new friends again~Deb

Alan, I'm so sorry, I just saw this when I was posting the announcement of the winners for our contest.  Yours was not with all the others, so it did not get judged, you had to have it tagged with, April Wildflower Contest, all together and if you put anything after you had to separated by a coma.  See the tags on the ones in the contest.  I feel really bad because I had seen this, but did not even click with me...so sorry.  Please enter the BBQ contest and it's the same way, the tag has to been exact at the beginning, and a coma separating anything after.  I just feel awful.  Liz

Liz:

No problem. I actually did not even know about the contest it just thought this was a good idea for a post.
