Who knew all this would happen afterwards! My winter garden against the living room windows. I let these little plants be my decorations for the season.

Happy June First!!

 Do you know of the Oyster Plant? My friend who has a much better understanding of plants, told me she'd been helping it to spread in the daylily bed near the parking lot.

It's the tall spears and the fuzzball seed pod, much bigger  than dandelion fuzz balls.


It's not these yellow flowers, which must be a long stemmed variety of dandelion.

The long spears will open into flowers...strange yellow flower with a green spear off the edges of each petal. 


A close up of an oyster plant flower...the one with the spikes extending from the flower. the tall spears are before the flowers open.
