If there’s one thing we know at Texas Highways, it’s that Texans love their wildflowers. Every year, we dedicate an issue to the state’s darlings. Though the showy buds of spring—bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush—are the most famous of Texas’ wildflowers, the state’s prairies provide blooms year-round. For our cover story, "Fields of Dreams," photographer Sean Fitzgerald spent many years capturing blooms through every season to bring you a month-by-month guide of where and when to enjoy our native flowers. In "The 10 Hues of the Hill Country," Alexa Ura profiles painter Porfirio Salinas, whose landscape paintings inspired Lyndon B. and Lady Bird Johnson's devotions to the environment. You’ll find wildflower stories springing up throughout the rest of the issue, from Georgetown’s famous show of red poppies to the efforts of DeWitt County’s citizens to resurrect its wildflower population.
