Highway 16 north and south out of town always have awesome displays. Highway 71 northwest of town usually has tons of Indian Paintbrush mixed in with the bluebonnets. You could probably spend a whole week around Llano and not see it all. I debated about putting Washington County back on this list. After some debate and realizing was the first year I left them off the list, Welcome back Washington County!!!
Brenham had some of the only decent displays in , which drew sizeable crowds. It became clear some residents were growing tired of the additional tourism. Multiple massive fields were mowed down in , including a acre field on Indian Paintbrush Rd and the Chappell Hill Church field with the red barn, both due to crowds and poor behavior by visitors. While our groups are always well behaved, we do see some pretty insane behavior from others.
Highway usually has good displays along it, but traffic can be exceptionally heavy in this area. Use common sense when choosing where to park, pull well off the shoulder and roadway.
Exercise extreme caution if stopping along any busy road and especially when reentering the road. I have seen a lot of near misses from people not using their heads. Birthplace of George Strait and home of the annual Strawberry Festival, the small town of Poteet has some of the me most welcoming residents in the entire state of Texas.
The wildflowers here can be exceptional. Sandyland Bluebonnets and Paintbrush make up the majority of the wildflowers here, which are slightly smaller and a lighter shade of blue, there are also Texas Bluebonnets, and the two are nearly indiscernible.
Again, hit the off the beaten path roads around Poteet. I would think this area should be very good the last half of March, same as Washington County. Every year is different in regards to schedule and coverage at a given location. While these types of lists are fun to make and read in February, truth is nobody knows for sure right now. We started running Texas Bluebonnet Workshops in We spend countless hours leading up to and during the season scouting our locations.
We update our routes as the season progresses. We know exactly when each field is looking its finest. We only go to safe locations and never stop along busy highways.
There's always plenty of time to photograph the scenes and you get expert photo advice to assure you get the best shots. Our workshops expanded to include daily tours in We run two, five hour tours each day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. For the first time we are offering self guided tours with updated routes each week! These maps will include exact locations, descriptions, and suggested times of day to visit.
We are so excited to reopen in ! Learn more about our tours and workshops. Where to Find the Best Bluebonnets in Texas in
