Bluebonnet
(Lupinus Species)
The Texas Senate passed a state flower resolution with little debate in 1900. In March 1901, the House took up the flower question. John M. Green of Cuero submitted the bluebonnet. The Mexicans called it el conejo, the rabbit. The white tips waving to and fro in the wind reminded them of bobbing rabbit tails. Or was Green referring to the flower Old World botanists called a wolf flower? A group of women, the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Texas had first suggested adopting the bluebonnet. The women sent for a bluebonnet painting by Miss Mode Walker of Austin. When legislators saw the painting, they reportedly shook the old walls with their applause. Governor Joseph D. Sayers approved Texas’ new state flower on March 7, 1901.
