Great pictures, Tina. When driving across TX, I think of the saying "the sun has ris,the sun has set, and here we is in Texas yet!" Lyn

I love rocks too!

That B&B was sure painted with bright colors! Looks like something in Mexico :shock:

Thanks, Tina - I like rocks also. Love that the bluebells are blooming for you as you cross TX.
Make it a very SLOW drive if you want to avoid the snow in OH.

Are those bluebells? They look like what we call lupine in CA. Wonder if they're the same but different name. Wonderful pictures Tina. Thanks.

In Texas we call them Blue Bonnets. They are beautiful in the spring!

I made the same comment and was assured that they are indeed the same as our Lupines
wonder how many other plants have a alternate name?
