Prettiest shot I could find on the Web, since I have neglected to take my own this year. Not sure I could match this, anyway, as we’re expecting merely an average season due to a lack of winter rain. But I’ll give it a try later in the week. They usually begin in late February and peak in late March.

THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Wow… I am used to Texans beating everyone else where size is concerned, but this, compared to our puny local spring flowers, is a bit of an overkill 😉
With good winter rains, spring flowers are a very big deal. They make up for the rest of the year when the heat usually vanquishes the flora.
