This primrose has surprised me, it is growing

directly under a red currant and is being

crowded by some grass. I thought in

those crowded conditions it would feel 

bullied but nope!

Darn that grass keeps trying to take over!

Money plant is an easy grow, biennial

with pretty spring flowers and a very cool fall look. 

Silver dollar is another name for this plant,
the silver dollars are the decorative seed pods

that hang on through the winter.

Mayapple in various stages. I've loved having this plant in my yard, an easy to grow (means do nothing) native perennial.
Seems to do fine in sun or shade and is marvelous in this partly shady garden.
Have I said how much I love this plant?
Check out the flower here, which by the way does actually come out in May. One has to get down on the ground to see the flower as it is hidden under that umbrella leaf.  There is a fruit eventually but I've yet to get a picture of it.

The chocolate lily is opening up.
Not too long ago it was just a bud.

 

 

 

 Peek a boo Primrose.

This hellebore is a great spring bloomer for me.

One pretty little tulip near this wood carving.
I tried to find info about the carvings in this area
but came up with nothing.

Adorable little blue flowers and one tulip.

Forget me nots are so easy to grow, easily pulled
out if they pop up where you don't want them.

And they are blue, hello! How many blue

flowers do you have?!

 

I find this to be a very attractive flower!

 

Lovely tulips.



 

What a lovely Magnolia in full bloom.

 

The lupine is getting ready to send out it's
flower stalk, in the meantime I enjoy 

the simple beauty of it's leaves.

I will admit to enjoying the weeds a flowering.
Is this purple deadnettle (lamium purpureum)

OR henbit (lamium amplexicaule)?

 

Ben cat loves to smell flowers, I'm certain
that's what he was doing right before

I took this photo.

The common rhubarb leaf.
Although I think it is anything but common.

The new spearmint plant in it's temporary home sitting atop
the thyme planter.



The Chocolate lily, a native plant of

Washington. 

Hail in April in the Pacific Northwest!
Hail yes! I just keep telling myself this:
April showers bring May flowers

I'm fairly certain I hear a cartoon
character singing this!!!

Pikes Place Mkt Flowers

Wallflower has been seen on this blog
a few times, the first time was here.
There is a reason for that; I love it.
The first wallflower blossoms of the season.

These beauties are growing by the side of the road
in Fremont. Someone with a postage stamp sized
spot to plant in and they did a beautiful job.

This was a beautiful group of flowers to run into.

Spring blossoms bring peace to my soul.

have with this group planting.
