Contrary to popular belief, it's not illegal to pick bluebonnets in Texas, unless they're in a designated (i.e. marked) wildflower zone or you're breaking some other law in the process (like trespassing). Bluebonnets are perfectly legal to pick, mow, etc. They are not protected, despite being the State flower.

Not that I would do it anyway; plenty of them grow on my 15 acre homestead, along with various other wonderful wildflowers.
