OK I asked several weeks ago about where is a good place to take pictures of your kiddos in the bluebonnets. I got several replys about Enis (which this weekend is their Bluebonnet Festival) and then Zion Cemetery near or around Denton. I was wondering if anyone had been there to Zion and knows how the bluebonnets are???
I read that last weekend and so we went down to Ennis and there was nothing to be seen. Like three small patches.
I don't know about Zion though.
We were in Ennis last night and there were no bluebonnets when normally there are hills and hills of them. I went to Zion cemetery 2 weeks ago and there were a few. Enough to take a few pictures but not the normal hill full of them. I think they just didnt bloom as much this year. :( I think due to lack of rain this winter.
None out there! We took my son to a spot located at George Bush and Shiloh, it looked like a blue sea out there, we got some great pictures!
NEW PS on 4/24....
I went to Zion Cemetary today. The grass is taller than the bluebonnets and they are very sparce. My pics from Bethany & Alma were MUCH better!
There are VERY SMALL patches on the grassy median on Bethany Drive between Alma & Central. If you were to park in one of the neighborhoods across the street from the median and take close up shots, I think it would work. When my daughter was born, bluebonnets were just starting to bloom. We laid her in a very tiny patch and took photos and the pics were gorgeous-- you would never know that there were hardly any bluebonnets to be found! Try Zion Cemetary and/or Ennis another year. I have not been to either this year, but both were nice last year. Last year, we were in bluebonnets up to my knees in Ennis-- they were gorgeous!

PS-- I went to Bethany before church this AM. Patches are tiny, but i got some cute shots. If you want to see them, I can email you a link to them. They are not by any means lush, but, my girls had fun & I am glad I have some pictures from this season.
I drove by last night and still no bluebonnets. At least not like last years. There were a few families there so maybe there are a few patches of flowers. Last year, you could see them from the road and they were gorgeous and you could see all the people taking pictures. I don't know what is going on with this years.
As of Friday, I didn't see any bluebonnets in Zion Cemetery. There were a few along side the road...not really enough for a good picture.
I went looking earlier this week. I don't know how far you would want to travel for them, but we were headed to Cedar Creek Lake (Athens area). We found a few good patches off the highway going down 175. We got some great shots. Nowhere to roam for the kids, but safe enough to get photos and walk a little. Just keep your eyes peeled for them while driving. Good luck!
I am not sure about Zion but do not waste time going to Ennis. My family and I went today and they are really very many bluebonnets at all, for some reason they are very disappointing this year. We were not able to find a single patch that had enough blue bonnets to take pictures. Good luck
