Experts warn of a "stunted" crop this year as bluebonnets begin to bloom across North Texas

The lack of rain North Texas has had throughout March may seriously affect the amount of bluebonnets we see this spring.

Still, NBC DFW is reporting that bluebonnets have already started blooming across the state, though Senior Meterologist David Finfrock says he expects to see a "stunted" crop of the flower due to the severe lack of rain.


Finfrock said, "They were late getting started because of the dry fall. But a lot germinated during the winter when rains were more generous."

Peak bluebonnet season will last through April, so there's still time to have bountiful blooms of the state flower.

To find where bluebonnets have started blooming near you, you can visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center's website and the Texas Wildflower Watch Instagram.
