I encountered this field of lupines in California and posted the photo on Facebook, as I am wont to do. It was brought to my attention that they are called Bluebonnets in Texas, and I paused; are they really the same flower? The answer is yes, both are members of the genus Lupinus which includes over 200 species. Not sure which species these are, but their famous Texan cousins, the state flower of Texas, is Lupinus texensis.
