Texas Bluebonnets
View Poster

"There's a yellow rose in Texas, I'm going there to see..." With a song as famous as that, how could we NOT think that the state flower of Texas is the yellow rose? And yet... on this date in 1901, the Bluebonnet was adopted as the state flower of Texas. The bluebonnet is one of the state's most popular wildflowers, carpeting huge areas of Texas when it blooms in the spring. Here are some other tidbits about the Lone Star State: the state bird is the mockingbird; the state motto is "Friendship"; and the name Texas is based on a word used by Native Americans of the Caddo tribe, meaning "friends."
