Description
Texas Big Bend Bluebonnets reaching for the desert sky despite the harsh environment they live in. Usually, they can be found at some point from late February to early April.
A beautiful drive along el Camino del Rio (river road, Texas Highway FM170) on the border of the United States and Mexico allows you to experience some rugged beauty. The mountains in this view are in Mexico.
The drive lets you also enjoy the border communities of Presidio, Redford, Lajitas, Terlingua ( home of the world famous chili cookoff), and Study Butte. You are also very close to Big Bend National Park

"Much taller than most bluebonnets, Big Bend or Havard bluebonnet grows 1-3 ft. high with the flowers on the upper 4-8 inches of the stem. The flowers of this winter annual are very deep blue with a lemon blotch. Palmate leaves are divided into seven leaflets.
The tall stems and showy flowers of L. havardii distinguish it from L. subcarnosus, a smaller, less showy species, which was originally designated as Texas state flower (in 1901). In 1971, however, the state legislature designated all Lupinus species as the official state flower."
