Please join Rosie for a walk through her garden.
This is a volunteer Money Plant, AKA Honesty Plant
or Lunaria annua.
The seed pods, green now, will become paper thin and silver
and look like silver dollars.
I planted seeds last year,
and the plants self-seeded all over the yard.
They're quite pretty.
I love this color blue iris.
I got one of those boxes of assorted seeds
last spring from Ace Hardware
with a full price rebate.
I sowed the seeds last spring
and I am rewarded this spring
with an abundance of stuff
I'm not sure about.
The orange one on the left is a poppy.
Fellow blogger, Mar, of FoodiesUntie blogdom,
and a Master Gardener, identified the others.
The light orange in the middle is calendula,
and I always think of Caligula
before I can come up with with the correct name.
The pretty yellow on the right is ...
Red verbena blowing in the breeze.
Columbines, or Aquilegia, are one of my favorites.
Pretty little vinca, blowing in the breeze.
Caligu ... er ... calendula on the left,
Western Wallflowers in middle back.
Poppies in the middle front.
Blue bachelor's button, AKA cornflower or
Centaurea cyanus on the right.
Blue larkspur on the left.
And all over.
The bachelors buttons and the larkspur
self-seed violently all over my yard.
Remember in my last gardening post
when I wrote about Mama Duck in my yard?
When I was out weeding in the front rose bed,
I startled her and she flew away,
leaving one lone egg in the nest.
She never came back to that nest
but she did start another one not too far away.
Right on the other side of the fence.
Can you see her?
Some type of phlox on the right.
A fennel plant that popped up there last year.
Different shamrocks.
Mar believes this to be some form of Phlox divaricata.
Glad I could help, Rosie.
ReplyDeleteI love your garden. Around here, things are just getting the idea that they should be waking up for the year.
