The bluebonnets located at Old Baylor’s Women’s College (or the ruined remains of it) normally flower much earlier than other areas of Washington county. Which means they begin to go to seed earlier as well. Many of the plants, while still in full bloom, now have these fuzzy pea-like seed pods forming.
This particular specimen was further gone than most, with the petals nearly gone — yet the seed pods were still green. They will dry up and turn brown before falling off to ensure next year’s flowers.
