Spring is almost here and that means bluebonnet season is just around the corner.
NBC 5 Senior Meteorologist David Finfrock said he expected to see a bumper crop of the state flower and other wildflowers this spring.
"Thanks to El Niño, I am expecting another superbloom of Texas wildflowers this spring."

A superbloom is a rare botanical phenomenon in which an unusually high number of wildflowers germinate and blossom at roughly the same time. The phenomenon is usually associated with a wet rainy season.
El Niño brought rounds of rain to North Texas through the fall and winter months.
David went on to say, "The peak is usually mid-April here. But because of the warm winter, it may be earlier this spring, perhaps coinciding with the eclipse."
