The blue bonnet is the Texas state flower. Indian paint brushes are also a Texas flower although not a state flower.
When I was a kid we used to go for Sunday afternoon car rides and we would see millions of both flowers. We usually picked a few for a bouquet--and no it is not illegal to pick them. Many people think it is but it is not actually illegal to pick them. It has been many years since I have lived in Texas but if I remember right they both grow in the springtime. It is a beautiful sight to look on a big field of blue bonnets or Indian paint brushes.
Indiana does not have either flower growing wild as they do in Texas. So if you are ever in Texas look for a field of either flower for a feast for your eyes!
