As I got closer to Hamilton they became more abundant along the sides of the road, then about 11 miles from Hamilton, on HWY 22, there is a REALLY large patch on the left hand side of the road...

There were still unopened blooms on most of the plants, and some were beginning to die. It is SO dry, it amazes me that they are doing so well. I have seen a lot of bluebells this year in Bosque and Hamilton Counties, but nothing like this field.   Link   http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?UV=248912363031_205563191307&collid=910403104107.174696091307.1213895808569&page=1    Report

It was really great that the owner gave your permission to walk the field to get close up shots. Looks like the cows were right on your trail as you took the photos - perils of wildflower hunter! I am not completely surprise at the number of bluebells in that area. The Hamilton area received normal to above normal rainfall in Mar-May which are the months critical for plants blooming in June - July. Combine that with a fairly good water table and you have the correct amount of rainfall that bluebells need. RichO Hunting Texas Wildflowers    Report

There was even an article in our local news paper about them.
