I don't remember what it was... It was near the Hot Springs Trail.<br />Bluebonnet in San Antonio, did you take it as a Life Plant? I would definitely rather live in the woods here in Michigan, but all the rocks are fun too.Plants Amaze Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146268920352124853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-60918374014968908272019-02-28T16:40:25.413-05:002019-02-28T16:40:25.413-05:00Yes Texas Bluebonnets are lupines, they are beauti...Yes Texas Bluebonnets are lupines, they are beautiful. Usually our son Andrew is with us on these trips, he is a geologist, and is great at describing the rock and how they have formed. He tells things in a way that is very interesting, even if I don't retain much of it.Plants Amaze Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146268920352124853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-26970541214939785612019-02-28T07:52:20.936-05:002019-02-28T07:52:20.936-05:00I agree with Allen.

Or do we just say it's a composite? The purple color of your Texas Bluebonnet was intense. I remember them growing in a field when we lived in San Antonio. Loved the green cottonwoods. The Rio Grande is a very misunderstood river. The vistas! I'm glad to see where you went but also glad I didn't have to scramble over boulders and look out for snakes. Great place to visit but I still would rather live in West Michigan! Thanks for posting.
