Fireball · **Lavender Fields -** 03-23-2011, 10:15 AM

Anyone know if these are in bloom yet? I would love to get some pics like these! I googled it and found lots of lavender farms in the hill country but Blanco seemed to be the place for the "official" lavenderfest in Texas, that true?

Just back from Blanco. Nothing yet. The Festival is June 10-11-12. The town's motels fill early. The Best Western is NEW, priced accordingly, and is acceptable. Not too sure about the renovated 50s vintage motels down the street. The Redbud Cafe is cool.

Do you live close Wayne? It's quite a drive for me, about 6-7 hrs. I'd rather go when there's NOT a festival so it won't be so crowded.

I'm in Houston mostly, not very close. I have a brochure from one of the farms. They have open house during the blooming season. I'll get the info. for you tonight. I think that would be better than the madhouse of the festival weekend.

I was just in Fredericksburg this past weekend.....I had no idea this place existed. That would be a great place to shoot.........
