Only a Texas Aggie would dream of changing the color of the state flower, and only an Aggie could pull it off. Marroon bluebonnets aren't really so old that most people would consider them a Tradition but in Aggieland if we do it more than once it must be a Tradition so.... another Tradition is born and now have even prettier flowers! Thanks to Texas naturalist and con artistist named Carroll Abbott who came up with the dream (or maybe strange idea) of using bluebonnets in the shape of a Texas flag to celebrate the 1986 Texas Sesquicentennial. Thanks to Greg Grant (of course an Aggie himself who likes the color maroon) who decided a red bluebonnet was not quite what he was looking for! I know red, white and blue may be the colors of the Texas State Flag but as all Aggies know it should ...
