We were in the Big Bend National Park two years ago when they said the 
wildflowers were the best in many years.  On the approach to the park from 
Marathon, the roads were lined for literally miles with the blankets of blue. 
 It was indeed a spectacular sight.  Of course there were other splendid 
wildflowers, too, some of which I was never able to identify.  We were so 
fortunate to visit at that time.  Truly Texas is blessed.
