I was returning home from vacation in West Texas late last week and decided to take a brief sojourn past a couple locations in Washington County to check for bluebells. In several areas where I've previously viewed them, there were indeed a few specimens, but only in small quantities.
However, just north of Burton on FM390 (near the aptly named Wildflower Rd.), I ran into the largest stand of bluebells (by far) that I've ever seen. There are probably 4-5 acres in the valley with at least 80% coverage, and perhaps an acre or two with 100% coverage - but the most densely populated portion of the field is a fair distance back from the highway.
It's more than worth the drive out there if one can justify the cost. Fortunately, it only "cost" me a few more miles on what was already a planned, lengthy drive home. I may post a pic or two later in the week if I can.
- Bill.
