Beautiful wildflowers Bea & Cinda!

Many are popping up here too.

We got a 10 oz. wildflower bag from Jolly Lane Nursery (a pretty awesome nursery nearby) with 50 different wildflowers in it. I spread them around the property a few weeks ago, and they're now popping up. Unfortunately, some of the seedlings are already being attacked by aphids. I think I sowed enough for it not to matter, though.

A pretty little wild flower (new to me)

looked it up called Blue eyed Mary

seems to be very happy in these woods and the bees were a buzzing

a few more flowers in the same woods


trout lilly

white trillium

Jacobs ladder with yellow buttercup

This is the only wildflower we have blooming right now:

Oh wow, Blue Eyed Mary is a very pretty little wildflower!! Don't think I've seen it before.

Johannian, on the bright side, maybe the aphids will attract some ladybugs. I know they do here, I've seen it happen many times! So fun to find the ladybug larvae and then the ladybugs. They will definitely keep those aphids under control.

We actually do have a lot of ladybugs during the summer, I forgot about them. Hopefully they do keep the aphids under control!

Found a couple ''new to me'' wildflowers over the weekend

yellow star grass

lousewort

Nice! The first one looks like what we call Texas Yellow Star... don't know the botanical name. Love them!



Here's a couple more recent wildflowers I ran across with my camera in hand.
Showy Primrose


Wild onions


Duh, edit to say I see that you already identified your little yellow star flower.

That primrose is very pretty.

Thank you, Johannian. They really are showy; that one caught my eye from quite a distance.

Wondering, is it just me? I see that the photo upload has changed since Dave made changes to the site. It seems to be taking a long time for them to upload. Anyone else noticing this issue?

From this morning...
Prairie Beardtongue


Pale Lobelia


Coreopsis

I wish we had native coreopsis. We do have some mini sunflowers, but they're not in bloom yet.

Yes, he changed the photo uploading system. It takes just as long as before for me, but then again I've always had bad internet out here in the boonies so it might have changed for you but stayed the same for me.

Thank you for your answer, Johannian. I guess now that the site is more Iphone friendly, the overall site is slower due to more traffic. Like the small town bringing in condos... it's never the same after that.

We have satellite internet out here in the boonies. It's pretty good as long as it's not raining.

It's actually more the problem of getting someone out here to set it up. A lot of people don't want to come out here to work.

That yellow Texas star sure is pretty!
My bluebonnets are setting seeds now. I would love to get some Indian paintbrush seeds if someone have some to share.
The Winecup is active:

Here's a white spiderwort- I have pinks and blue ones too.

Herbertia lahue

I wait expectantly for these to appear.

beautiful flowers
I especially like the iris type , I've never seen them before

The Hebertia reminds me of a Calochortus. We used to have so many Mariposas growing natively in CA:


There aren't any over here, unfortunately.

@gardengus, cinda, I have to tell you the story of the herbertia. They appeared in my parents back lawn; I was visiting them when I see these lovely cute blue blooms on the lawn. I got my mom's shovel and began digging, the bulbs bury themselves very deep down! I only got maybe one or two bulbs out but they have since multiplied in my garden. I collect the seeds or let them self-sow. If you want some seeds, LMK.

@johannian, I do like the mariposa lily; don't see them here.

Thank you so much for the offer , that is very kind of you ,but I don't think they would survive our zone 5 winters

Slow photo download here too. I misplaced the camera so thought the phone might be the problem. Perhaps not....

A springtime favorite bloomer here.
Spigelia marilandica -aka Indian Pink or Pink Root
