 Resolved by the House of Representatives, the
Senate concurring, That it adopt the Bluebonnet song as the State Flower Song.
Named for its color and, it is said, the resemblance of its petal to a woman's sunbonnet, the
bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas. It blooms in the early spring and can be readily found in fields and along the roadsides throughout central and south Texas.
Scientifically named Lupinus texensis, the bluebonnet is also called buffalo clover, wolf
flower, and (by the Mexicans) el conejo. It was adopted as the official state flower by the Texas Legislature in 1901.
