As of today, out of season, returns ~March. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Each spring large patches and fields of Texas bluebonnets (Lupinus spp., commonly Lupinus texensis) appear across central and eastern Texas.
Bloom timing is driven by winter and early-spring rainfall and temperature, so peak dates vary by region.
Major viewing corridors and festivals concentrate visits in March and April.
