Texas
Wildflowers are a big deal along the highways, thanks to Lady Bird Johnson. Due to her efforts, the Texas Department of Transportation has been sowing from 30,00 - 60,000 pounds of flower seeds (most of them our state flower,bluebonnets) along highways every year. The TxDOT Travel Division even has a Wildflower Information Hotline to help people find the most colorful patches of highway.

I hope we actually get to see some wildflowers this year...it was so dry last year none sprouted down here.
