Where to find bluebonnets, wildflowers around San Antonio

• But April is typically the peak wildflower month.

Catch up quick: We've finally seen enough rainfall to encourage wildflower growth this spring.

Zoom in: We rounded up some great spots to see wildflowers around San Antonio and the Hill Country this year.

• Along U.S. 281: As soon as you cross over Loop 1604 and head north into the Hill Country, the roadside gets a lot more beautiful.
• The San Antonio Botanical Garden: You don't have to leave the city for a great show of bluebonnets.
• Wildseed Farms: This wildflower farm and vineyard in Fredericksburg is always a good bet.
• Burnet: A little more out of the way, but the annual Bluebonnet Festival here (April 12-14 this year) is always a draw.
• The Willow City Loop north of Fredericksburg through the Hill Country.

• Around the San Antonio Missions: You can sometimes find bluebonnet, Indian blanket, baby blue eyes and Turk's cap.
• Local parks: McAllister, Eisenhower, Friedrich Wilderness and Government Canyon parks are all safe bets for wildflower hunting.
