My kids asked me yesterday if they would get thrown into jail for plucking a bluebonnet, so I decided to do my duty as a parent and research that pressing question. Is it illegal to pick bluebonnet in Texas?
Springtime is upon us and in East Texas, and really throughout the state, Wild flowers blooming make for a picturesque scene. But what of our state flower, the bluebonnet, is it a crime to pick a few to take home?
