Gary Regner Photography has the following report on the upcoming wildflower season in Texas

January 12, 2013 – Spring 2013 Outlook

Once again virtually the entire state is in drought, there was decent rain in September, but none after that until this past week. It is unknown whether there was sufficient rain in September to germinate bluebonnet seeds, and if any did germinate, did they survive the following 3 months with no rain at all.

There are always some wildflowers blooming in Texas each spring, but it remains to be seen whether or not there will be a signicant bloom this year. Needless to say, we will need more rain over the next few months.
