Forget-Me Nots In Texas

In Texas this time of year you can find an abunbdance of wildflowers almost anywhere you travel. In Robertson County there are plenty to enjoy along the roads and highways including the standard bearer Bluebonnets and Paintbrushes.

But one of my favorites are the Forget-Me -Nots.

Quite a few can be seen along several stretches of FM 2549 between Hwy 6 and Hwy 79, near Franklin and Hearne. Noted in the past by Texas Monthly Magazine as one of the prettiest highways in the state, it is well worth the visit to enjoy the flowers and the scenery along this Farm to Market highway. Red Barns, and white rail fences along with rolling hills make the short trip worth every minute.

Unfortunately the wind was gusting to 30 mph when I took this photo but you still get the idea. A delicate flower that can withstand hot asphalt nearby and constant wind from autos and mother nature......... is certainly worth planting in your flower gardens at home too.
