For a limited time wildflowers are blooming in Texas. Sarah Duran has more in this Bobcat Update.
Warm, sunny days and fields of flowers can only mean one thing in the Texas Hill Country -- spring time. One flower in particular gets most of the attention.

While many will admire the striking asher blue plant along roadways, others might stray away from picking the flower in fear of potentially breaking state laws.

Stand up: According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, there are actually no laws against picking our state flower. However, there are laws against property damage and impeding traffic so you may want to keep that is mind when picking the flowers this spring season. As the presence and cultivation of bluebonnets increase each year this wild flower serves as a constant reminder of Texan pride. For Bobcat Update, I'm Sarah Duran.
