Pretty lupines!!

Chelle, that's so pretty! Is it the one used for saffron? I think it's too warm here to grow very well...

I think, but I don't know for sure, that the one for saffron is a fall bloomer.

I like this one too, it's just a lot flashier than I intended to get.

Bluebonnets are blooming in San Antonio...and elsewhere.

These bluebonnets also include a few Golden-Eye Phlox, one of my favorite wildflowers

More Golden-Eye Phlox. I think the little asters are the Dwarf White Aster.

That Cirsium horridulum is a mighty fine pic.

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't order the Claytonia like I thought I did - the woods here are chock-full of them!

I've been eyeing some of them here, thinking I would try to collect the seeds and see if you wanted some lol... guess you won't be needing seeds after all! I may try anyhow, someone might like some.

Good idea! I think the ones here will largely be lost under the next growth burst...Trillium, Mayapples and all the rest. I'm seeing lots of Trout Lily leaves, but I can't remember what color they are. I've checked the same plant (with a bud) every day for the last four trying to catch it open.

I believe so, J. The second photo is most revealing; Claytonia caroliniana has wider leaves than virginica. Virginica has very narrow leaves, like the ones in your photos.

Nice shots!

Hi Doris, I bet you are so happy to see blooms this year!! I saw a large mass of daff's along he road the other day they were so pretty!

Chelle, I find the trout lilies are open in the morning.... it seems like I have to get there early or they are already closed!

I've been going out about an hour after sunrise, so I guess they're not blooming yet?? The one I've been monitoring is the only one I've seen so far with a bud of any kind...still early here, I guess.

Those are very pretty, Doris.
