garden bluebonnets

We scattered a bunch of these seeds last April or May. A limiting factor on their range is a specific soil bacteria; we're hoping these guys hold on to the beachhead and work some legume magic on the soil for next year. (We had a couple strays pop up in the gravel last year but they didn't come back.)

Also, is it just me, or do you see indigo in these?

    1. It's right between blue and violet.
