Bloom Day 3/15 – Wildflower Edition
Posted in bloom day on March 16, 2012| 3 Comments »
I walked around the property this weekend with a camera and took pictures of the wildflowers currently blooming. This is our first spring in the house where we had winter rain, so it’s exciting to see what’s actually here without me even trying. It looks like there are plenty more that should be blooming in the next several weeks.
Verbena
Verbena and Coreopsis
Crow poison (Nothoscordum bivalve)
Looks just like crow poison, but in a pretty shade of pink
Coreopsis
Blackfoot Daisy
Bluebonnet - I cheated and recently planted this one
Can't find this one on the wildflower center's page. Each flower is tiny, about the size of your thumb nail.
Horseherb
I have so many windflowers (and they come in three colors) that they deserved several pictures.

Peach Iris
White Iris
Zinnia (in okra bed)
Marigolds (in tomato bed)

Strawberry – much smaller than it appears. I’m not fond of this tiny variety.
Ancho St. Martin. The first pepper in the garden.
Salvia with Katydid. I’m not sure of variety. It was here when I moved in.

Sunflower that will be here year round.

Bluebonnets
(Please ignore the giant weed)

I picked this up at the Garden Bloggers field trip last fall. I’ve completely ignored it.
It is still in the plastic bucket w/out a touch of water or protection from the cold.
I’m really loving this flower!
Shasta Daisies
Society Garlic
Sweet Alyssum
Tulips – Don’t remember the variety
This is the second year and they look much better this year than last.
