The flower was named by Benjamin Franklin after his own daughter, Jane.  He called it the "Indian Painted Lady".

Are the color blue or purple?  I'm not so sure.

The color blue is given to the flower.  Purple is more often associated with these flowers, but isn't actually the correct color.  Since blue is lighter than purple, the flower is often described as "azure".

Do you know that in 1901 the Texas Legislature named the bluebonnet the state flower?
