hese are all my own photos of local flowers.
As you may tell by some of the names, these were taken primarily in Texas.
Texas has an abundant and beautiful wildflower season, typically spanning from March to May.
Wildflowers fill large fields, span along roads, and grow anywhere else in between.
I have always really struggled to find pride in my state, considering our political and religious climate in general but especially right now. Seeing so many wildflowers pop up all over the place in the spring and early summer makes me think Texas can be a little nice sometimes.
