The Texas Wildflower Sightings website continues to post many new updates for bluebonnets, paintbrush, prickly poppy and other wildflowers across Texas.
Gary Regner Photography has posted a new wildflower bloom report for March 28, 2012
Frio/Atascosa Counties
South central Texas still has many wildflowers, however, grasses are beginning to overtake them and many wildflowers are now past peak bloom in many places.
IH 37 from Loop 1604 to JCT FM 536 – very nice wildflowers along the road, but no good places to stop. A lot of phlox and nerve ray.
FM 536 from IH 37 to US 281 – very nice with lots of magenta phlox, paintbrush, nerve ray, bladderpod and some bluebonnets and prickly poppies. Some nice photo ops along this road.
US 281 from FM 536 to Pleasanton – good mix of flowers. .
97 from Jourdanton to Charlotte – this area is mostly agricultural, some roadside wildflowers, but no significant fields. Rating 1.
FM 140 and FM 472 north to Bigfoot – this area is also mostly agricultural. .
FM 462 east of Bigfoot and FM 472 north of Bigfoot – nice wildflowers including bluebonnets, bladder pod, and prickly poppy (white and rose) but grass is getting very high and the bloom is definitely past peak.
His website page Wildflower Report is a good source for Texas wildflower bloom updates. He also has a photographic Wildflower Index for Texas wildflowers.

I miss this time of year in Texas. There are few places like Texas when the wildflowers are blooming.
