On the last day of March, I went on a bike ride to check out spring wildflowers on the Georgetown side of Teravista. I got more than I had anticipated. Here are a few of the wildflowers I saw on my ride.
Although Bluebonnet fields are not very extensive this year, I was still able to find some small patches. Even better was to see a lone Indian Paintbrush surrounded by Bluebonnets.
I like it when I see small patches of wildflowers. That gives me a chance to appreciate the beauty of each flower.
The beautiful blooms of the Texas Red Yucca are all over our area. That yucca gives out tiny yellow and pink flowers.
Finally, one cannot miss the beauty of Pink Evening Primroses (aka Pink Ladies). Behind our house, the field is covered with these beauties.
All photos were captured with my Samsung S23 phone. That is the story behind the shots. If you liked these photos, you might also be interested in other posts featuring Bluebonnets, Cellpic Sunday, Evening Primrose, FOTD, Georgetown, Indian Paintbrush, Prairie verbena, Teravista, Texas, Texas Red Yucca, and Wildflowers. Until the next time, keep clicking and capturing the beauty your eyes find.

Fabulous, Egidio! And enough gorgeous purples to link to my purple color challenge it you’re so inclined. I love the bluebonnets! The closest flower we have to those are Alpine Lupin which begin blooming in May 💙💜

Gorgeous photographs, my favorite is the one of the lone Indian Paintbrush surrounded by Bluebonnets.
Egidio Leitao
Thank you, Tomi. Yes, that lone paintbrush caught my eye.

A wonderful display of wildflowers! That lone Indian Paintbrush surrounded by Bluebonnets really catches the eye but I also love the more delicate Evening Primrose 🙂
Egidio Leitao
Sarah, the paintbrush stood out for me, too. As for the primroses, I can’t get enough of them. Behind our backyard, the field is full of them. I keep going out and photographing different scenes.

A lovely collection of wildflowers Egidio! Who can’t love them all?
Egidio Leitao
Thank you, Anita. This is a great time of the year.

Beautiful spring flowers, Egidio! Spring is colorful in Arizona, but not with this kind of variety!
Egidio Leitao
Thanks, John. People in Texas go crazy about Bluebonnets, but these other flowers are so beautiful.

Very pretty!
Egidio Leitao
Thank you, Nora.

I miss those bluebonnets very much! Long Live Lady Bird.

Yes, her legacy is astounding!

People from other regions are usually impressed by the bounty of spring wildflowers in Texas. That presumably holds true even in a sparse wildflower spring like the one we’ve been having.
In addition to prairie verbena and several other native verbena species, Brazilian verbena has become naturalized in central Texas.
Egidio Leitao
I’d love to see some of those Brazilian verbenas.
Steve Schwartzman
It’s pretty common, and I’ve often seen it in nearby Great Hills Park. It’s not as showy as our native prairie verbena. Here’s information about it:

Thanks for the link.

Thanks, Hammad.

Lovely Texas wildflowers!
Egidio Leitao
They are. Not many bluebonnets this year, though.
Amy
It’s disappointing…
Pepper
Gorgeous wildflowers! I especially enjoyed the Texas bluebonnets. 😊

So glad you liked them, Pepper. Thanks.

Egídio, I really enjoyed your post—there’s a quiet joy in how you notice things. The mix of soft light and spring colours feels honest, not forced. It’s that kind of looking that makes biking more than just exercise. Thanks for sharing it.
Egidio Leitao
Khürt, this comment made my day. Thank you for your encouraging and supporting words.
