Wildflower Watching in Brenham Texas has two reports today
April 24, 2014: Countryside report – still looks great! See our Facebook page for pictures and a map of the routes.
> Old Independence Rd from Brenham to FM 390 looks really pretty. There are lots of paintbrush along the sides of the roads and the closer you get to 390 you’ll find lots of bluebonnets in fields. Some are solid blue, others have red and/or yellow mixed in, but all are beautiful.
> FM 390 around Old Baylor is beautiful with paintbrush and a mix of other colors.
> Kettler Rd is still pretty wtih bluebonnets.
> FM 2621 is beautiful with a mix of all kinds of flowers – bluebonnets, paintbrush, yellow daisies, winecups and even indian blanket!
> FM 50 has a lot of evening primrose in addition to paintbrush.
> Hwy 105 at the junction of FM 50 has indian blanket but the bluebonnet field is full of grass.
> FM 1948 and Hwy 290 West has a pretty field of Foxglove
> Hwy 290 West is pretty with bluebonnets and paintbrush
> FM 390 has a lot of color
> Hoddeville School Rd field still looks good – more color even!
> FM 2679 has a lot of color closer to 390.
April 24, 2014: Okay… the bluebonnets are starting to get drowned out by grass and daisies, but there are still some spots that look good! Here is the latest report for the bluebonnets inside the city limits:
> Industrial Blvd (beyond Fireman’s Training Center) and Longwood Drive (near Bluebonnet Electric Coop) have vibrant and thick bluebonnets for up-close pictures of the kids and dogs. The streets are low traffic and wide so you can pull over and get out safely. The grass is tall, though, so watch your step and look carefully for critters before sitting down. These two roads are accessed via Hwy 290 and FM 389.
> Behind Sealand Seafood & Steak is still a wonderful and large patch of pretty bluebonnets. Turn right at Sealand off the Hwy 290 eastbound feeder and the flowers will be on your left before you get to the T in the road.
> The bluebonnets on Stringer Street beside the Banner Press are drowned out by grass and daisies. The yellow mixed in looks really nice, but for pictures it’s not a great spot anymore.
> Behind Wal-Mart, Home Depot and La Quinta …. if in a pinch, you could find some decent flowers to take a picture of, but overall these are starting to fade and get too grassy.
