Title: More on bluebonnets
Answered by: Damon Waitt
QUESTION:
I want to go to the Willow loop north 7 miles or so of Fredericksburg to see the bluebonnets in bloom this year but don't know when the best time would be to see this spectacular view. I plan to be in Austin around the 21st - 25th of March. Would that be a good time?ANSWER:
This may not surprise you, but you aren't the first one to ask us this question this spring. I refer you to a previously answered question for details. If you have a chance to come to the Austin area during your trip to Texas, we hope you will visit us at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Here are a few bluebonnet pictures to whet your appetite until your visit.
