The Big Bend bluebonnet, lupinus havardii, is a different, earlier blooming species than the smaller flower that adorns meadows and roadsides in the rest of Texas. According to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center database, the Big Bend bluebonnet can grow from 1-3 feet tall with flowers on the upper 4-8 inches of the stem.

"In 1971, however, the state legislature designated all Lupinus species as the official state flower.
