TAMU Horticulture site was my inspiration for my card. They have a photo of maroon, white, & blue blueonnets (Lupinus texensis). So, I used that to create a card that encompasses both my love for my state and my love for my country! Stamp is from Deadbeat Designs colored with colored pencils edged with Quick Quotes Maraschino Cherry chalking ink! TFL!

Oh my - I love your tricolor of bluebonnets. I need to look them up, but I think they look very like lupins over here, and certainly they come in a whole rainbow of colours. What a fun patriotic card.

This is such a pretty card. Love learning about other state's flowers.
