 Bluebonnets in Boerne

Created March 17, 2024 - Updated March 21st 2024 

Every spring, Texas landscapes burst into vibrant blue as bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) bloom. These wildflowers, cherished by Indigenous tribes and woven into Texan folklore, hold deep cultural significance. Lady Bird Johnson’s efforts through the Highway Beautification Act helped preserve them, ensuring their presence along Texas highways.

Despite their beauty, bluebonnets face threats from urbanization and climate change, making conservation crucial. Texans celebrate their arrival with festivals and family traditions, capturing cherished moments among the blooms. Below are top spots in and around Boerne for stunning bluebonnet photos.
