  • Lupinus subcarnosus, sandyland bluebonnet or buffalo clover
  • Lupinus texensis, Texas bluebonnet or Texas lupine

On March 7, 1901, Lupinus subcarnosus became the only type of bluebonnet recognized as the state flower of Texas; however, Lupinus texensis emerged as the favorite of most Texans. So, in 1971, the Texas Legislature made any similar type of Lupinus that could be found in Texas the state flower.

As an extension of Lady Bird Johnson\’s efforts at highway beautification in the United States (see Highway Beautification Act), she encouraged the planting of native plants along Texas highways after she left the White House. Bluebonnet blooms are now a common sight along these highways in the springtime.
