Of course my yard has dandelions.
But, these pictures show three other flowers, all of them wild, that have volunteered to hang out in the vicinity of my house. By merely knowing these species, a botanist could deduce much about my habitat.
Each spring, I find a dozen or so stream violets in the same area.
The forget-me-not is a small, and variable wildflower. Most have blue petals, but the colour can range through pink to white. There is one pinkish flower in this group. Most references say the centre is yellow. So, why do I often see some with a white centre?
The skunk cabbage is not everyone’s favourite wildflower, but it is part of the local landscape.
Nice Alistiar
Sure been enjoying your posts!
I’ve been having fun too – tracking down “What’s Up” by way of spring wildflowers.
I think the skunk cabbage is beautiful! Have seen them growing in large groups in the woods around Anmore and they are spectacular! In Europe they are grown in gardens, and called “Swamp Lanterns”
Ruth, I too am partial to them. But, I have overheard disparaging remarks.
Forget-me-nots are most difficult to photograph, and to capture the proper colours. Magnificent !
