Please don’t pick the bluebonnets, y’all If you read the piece by our reporter Charles Scudder a few days ago, you know that the odious practice of picking Texas’ state flower isn’t illegal. But we must protest and ask kindly, dear reader the bluebonnet. Cameras in hand, I got out of my car and spent the better part of an hour hunched down among the flowers taking photos. I forgot about being tired or hungry. I momentarily forgot about continuing on to Point B, too. For a short while bluebonnets (Kristin Weisell) But here in North Texas, the state flower isn’t seen quite as often as it is If you are looking to get some pictures of wildflowers along the highway, TXDOT does recommend not pulling over along the interstates. .
