It has been rough weather for Spring plants. From two nights of 18 degrees to 80 degrees and drought to below freezing a couple of nights ago not to mention the wind it just hasn’t been growing weather. But somehow, I have some flowers blooming.
I left a couple of patches of Star of Bethlehem. It is the flower that I unescaped from the field a couple of years ago. Since it appears to be an invasive species, Emily recommended I do away with it. But since it has already invaded I thought I might just keep a couple of patches and not let them go to seed. It is a pretty flower.
The Siberian irises never disappoint.
And the old fashioned bearded irises are always the first color to bloom.
“Poppies, poppies will make them sleep.” You can’t see poppies and not think of that famous line from The Wizard of Oz.
I just bought three pots of pink phlox this spring. The butterflies are enjoying them too.

Looking at what's in bloom, who would think you were having such terrible weather. Those Siberian irises really are beautifully detailed. And yes, I can't help but think of the Wizard of Oz when I see or hear poppies.
