The Phillipsburg Church Road field is big and beautiful, bluebonnets line both sides of highway 36 from Bellville to Brenham (even a big field next to WalMart), a nice field just outside of Brenham on highway 105 with long horn cattle as a bonus and the Lillian Farms B&B grounds are just amazing (unfortunately there is not a good place to pull off of FM1155 there). This is on FM1155 after it's first hard right turn at FM2193 towards Washington-On-The-Brazos and Dillard Road. However I must say that the bluebonnets are mostly past peak and closeup photography will not show them at their best. But vista shots are still very much in order through this weekend. I hope the weather is nice and you all can get out and enjoy the wild sights! BTW lots of May wildflowers are showing up in pink, purple and yellows. So there are some very nice mixes now. Flowers will brighten your day whether mild or wild, Murry!    Report

What a wonderful sight indeed. They have started widening FM1488 from I45 to FM149 and then later they will do FM149 to US290 so the road sides are in for some rough times over the next few years.

Flowers will brighten your day whether mild or wild, Murry!    Report
