I hope I can get some Texas Bluebonnet blanks this year from a vendor on this forum. I have been waiting for three years to get some.

Contact Mesquiteman (Curtis Seebeck) here on IAP.
His website is TurnTex.com
I have bought several from him in the past, but don't know if he has any at the moment.
He is great to deal with.

Curtis hasn't been making custom blanks lately, but I know he wants to get back into that, so send him a message or give him a call as Gordon suggested.
Bluebonnets are more plentiful in Texas this year than they have been the last few years, but it's going to take a few years for them to really flourish in blanket form after the severe drought we've had the last few years. I don't know if they are plentiful enough in Curtis' area to make the harvesting effort worthwhile this year or not. It takes about 5 gallons of bluebonnet tops to make just 1/2 gallon of dried bonnets for casting.
Here's an idea of what we are up against. The first photo is how they look on our place this year - the second photo is what they look like in a good year.
