Why did Texas choose the little blue wildflower that pops up every spring as its official state flower? Join us as we uncover the “flower drama” of 1901, explore how bluebonnets turn Texas into oceans of color, and bust the myth about whether it’s illegal to pick them. From legends to science to Texas road trips, this episode reveals why the bluebonnet became a true Lone Star icon.
