Today's quote:
When we look back on our lives, we see that we have survived many trials, often to our own amazement.
...most of life is ephemeral!
ReplyDeleteYes, our lives do find the continuing beginnings and endings of everything around us.
DeleteBeautiful wildflowers, butterflies and your sugar bowl is pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday! Take care, have a happy day!
Hope your Thursday is also a good day today!
DeleteWonderful wildflowers! The first time I saw trout lilies I didn't believe they were wild. I thought they were garden escapees.
ReplyDeleteAren't they amazing? As are all kinds of orchids that just pop up in the right places!
DeleteI like today’s pictures.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them...I limited what I posted today, which requires real effort on my part!
DeleteHi Barbara, In keeping with your spring flowers and native 'yardening', my better half and the lady living behind us are planting native flowers and bushes in and along the strip of woods/common ground between us... A path between the homes is complete and the first of the plantings were set in place by my wife and a master gardener that we use sometimes. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. I love wildflowers. Even better when they have a butterfly visiting!
ReplyDeleteThe wildflowers are absolutely beautiful. Very nice post and pottery.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of ephemerals in my shady back yard: bloodroot (which, when I bought it, I didn't know it would only bloom for two or three days) and a trillium that I have now identified from your chart as toadshade trillium. I always wondered why the flower doesn't open the way the common white trillium in our woods does. One of our local parks has trout lily and bluebells. Short blooming only makes them more precious, I think.
ReplyDeleteMay is a frenzy of flowers!
ReplyDeleteWildflowers! Butterflies! Wildflowers! Butterflies!! Beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteThey are simply lovely!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen crested iris so happy and healthy. Beautiful (as I try to grow them.)
