Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

The First Bluebonnet Blooms Of 2026

I seeded Texas Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) in front of the house in fall 2023 and now there are hundreds of plants in that “meadow” area. There are also many behind the house as well. This is how tightly packed they are near the street.

Bluebonnets are among the earliest of the wildflowers to bloom, and it’s always exciting to spot the first ones each year.

February 15, 2026 is when I saw the first flower this year, and looking around that day I saw at least two others in the meadow.

I also noticed a couple of Lady Beetles enjoying the meadow. Here’s one.

By the looks of it, there will be Firewheel aka Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella) blooms soon as well.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
