We had a freeze a while back and lost some small trees and several branches off the larger ones. But the added sunlight let us have a wildflower garden this year. We enjoy sitting outside identifying various flowers as they bloom. It gets plenty of visitors: hummingbirds, insects, lizards, butterflies, and plenty of songbirds. Our patio plants are also happy. 🦎🐝🐌🦋 Out neighbor‘s cat likes napping in the flowers too. 😂
Yesterday was our Friends of The Library plant sale out in Mason, Michigan. And yours truly was out in unseasonably cold weather working it. And afterwards I went to other places in town to get more plants. #mittenlitten.
Got up to the mountains over the weekend and saw lots of lovely wildflowers! Anyone who lives near the Rocky Mountains should consider getting this book since it is so helpful. My favorite feature is that the entries are organized according to color, which helps you identify flowers even when you don‘t know their names.
Mom and Dad‘s farm has loads of wildflowers and its share of snakes. So…Dad‘s Father‘s Day present is ready to go. This was an amazingly lucky find this morning at the San Antonio Book Festival. They‘re perfect for him (and I may sneak some reading in before I give these to him).
When you try to be the person who actually knows the nature around you. Because you never could identify sh*t but you want to be that person who can. 🤣😂😅 Vinca minor (apocynacea) aka lesser periwinkle or creeping myrtle. Blue, violet or white five pinwheel petals, tubular below the broad, oval glossy evergreen leaves with white midvein. #litsylove
When I‘m not reading or working I love gardening. After a tough year of drought last year my native plants have bounced back and I‘d love to share some of their blooms with you. They are robust yet delicate!
Happy reading or gardening friends 💕🌸

After finishing this I was outside working in the garden transplanting basil, lemon grass, and chilies.

Thanks @EadieB for the tag😘
I love my garden. It‘s my happy place💕
It‘s Autumn here in Australia after a long dry summer, but we recently had some rain and my garden has responded. The Crepe Myrtles are amazing. Our Macadamia orchards will take longer to recover but Mother Nature has a way of bouncing back if we help her😍
Happy Easter everyone.
Can you post @catebutler @LapReader 😘😘

These primroses are getting on with doing what flowers do, regardless of the human drama.
The tagged book is a glorious hefty tome, not so much a botanical as a cultural compendium of our wild plants. (Of course, I have the companion volume, on birds, too. 🙂)
