Today when I went to look at the bluebonnets there were three white ones (two are a rather muddy white and one tends more toward the palest pink).This is an interesting development as I tend to select seeds from the darkest blue plants each year. Still, their are lots of plants out from seeds that sow themselves.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe Aggies have been selecting and propagating <a href=\"http:\/\/aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu\/plantanswers\/98promotions\/julyoct\/julyoct.html\">various colors<\/a> of bluebonnets for a couple of decades now. When I read about their new varieties, I was unexcited (although I&#8217;m attracted to the <a href=\"http:\/\/aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu\/cemap\/lupines\/maroon.jpeg\">maroon bluebonnet<\/a>.) There are plenty of pink and white flowers, but few flowers are as deep blue as our bluebonnet.
