I was fortunate yesterday to see, for the first time in my life, Texas bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush blooming together along the roadside between College Station and Houston, TX. Lady Bird Johnson was instrumental in this wildflower planting campaign, and she also founded the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, TX (www.wildflower.org) in 1983. A beautiful place and a wonderful resource.
