The Terlingua and Big Bend area in West Texas is renowned for its indigenous wildflower fauna. Here, tourists may expect to see wayside flowers dispersed throughout the region's typically dry terrains. Visitors may even come across fields of the Chisos bluebonnet, an exceptional Texas bloom that may grow to a height of up to four feet. Texas Highways suggests that those interested in seeing Franklin Mountains State Park, which is home to the ocotillo, geometry dash yucca, Southwestern barrel cactus, and Chihuahuan fishhook cactus, should travel about five hours north.

Lastly, ensure that you include East Texas in your wildflower trek. Visitors will discover the unique white and pink blossoms characteristic of the Texas Dogwood Trails. The Davey Dogwood Park in Palestine has 254 acres of public lawns, along with five miles of roads and eight miles of paths, all abundant with dogwood trees that are expected to reach their peak blooming stage in the near future. To see a drive-by flower display, Texas Highways recommends exploring the areas around FM 227 and then on to State Highway 21 to see redbuds and yellow jessamine bulbs.
