Recent rains in Texas have led to a lush show of bluebonnets.
The Department of Public Safety today answers the question that often comes up: is it legal to pick the lovely state flower -- the bluebonnet?
The answer is: yes.
But D-P-S says be sensible about it.
D-P-S reminds flower lovers not to trespass on private property.
Also, there are Texas laws against damaging or destroying rights-of-way and government property, plus don't interrupt the flow of traffic.
D-P-S offers this advice: "Pick a few flowers, but don't dig up clumps of them and don't drive your vehicle into the midst of them."
D-P-S spokesman Tom Vinger says leave some for everyone else to enjoy.
