AUSTIN, Texas — Experts say recent rain across much of Texas has contributed to a spectacular 2019 wildflowers season. The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department on Tuesday announced the colorful displays range from bluebonnets to buttercups to Indian blanket. Agency officials say Texas, with more than 90 state parks and nearly 6,000 plant species, has plenty of photo opportunities. The Coastal Texas prairies, barrier islands and South Texas have prairie clovers and silverleaf sunflowers. West Texas has rigid paintbrush, yellow rocknettle and the purple wooly locoweed.
