Our first few years in Texas seemed to show that there was an established pattern to the appearance of different wildflowers. It seemed to start with blue bonnets and much later you would have the indian paint brush. That pattern is totally a fantasy this year. We have both of them coming up at the same time but in very limited numbers.
The blue bonnets are looking pathetic. They are few and have lots of breathing room. They also are much shorter than in years past. I imagine people would blame in on the drought conditions.
There are also milkweed blooming which I thought happened almost last.
There are also some generic yellow, white and purple patches but they tend to be background for the rest of the blooms. They may be the main act this year.
