April Assignment Spring

[F, Calla & Luca]

Black and white seems to stark for April so I'm opting for color. It could be soft like the first blush of color in the trees or all those flowers you west coasters already have. Soft, garish whatever. By the end of the month even Donna will surely see a peep of green. And speaking of peeps, baby animals would go well with this theme. Chicks and puppies and who knows what. Wishing you all a lovely April.

Okay, someone knowledgeable about these things, please tell me.  Are the blue bonnets (state flower of Texas) the same as lupins?  We have fields of lupins here and this year has not been the best year for the lupins - all the plants are just confused.  Fields of lupins and California poppies are fantastic.  Maybe after our big rain last week, we may still get some.

The bluebonnets are a kind of lupine. This explains things:

I have a hard time choosing which is more beautiful, the bluebonnets or Jewel. Well, they complement one another. This all brought to mind LadyBird Jonson, wild flowers are wonderful.

So sweet thank you :) LadyBird's efforts are why our hills are covered with such loveliness. There is a local wild flower center that was named in her honor here.
