Spring is a favorite time of year for me. This year the weather has been unusually warm and most flowers are about two weeks ahead of themselves. My oldest daughter was on vacation a couple of weeks ago and we went on several wildflower hunts. Here are a few of my favs from the pictures she took.
This is a new wildflower for us this year, High Bush Huckleberry. Love the little white bell flowers that hang down.
Love all the violets and especially this two toned Birdsfoot Violet.
This Downy Phlox was so pretty growing in a clump. Love the bright rose pink color.
This is another very pretty wildflower, Indian Paintbrush, that is not that easy to find here.
I love yellow/gold flowers and this is a beauty with a unusual name, Squaw Weed.
I am lucky to have this Wild Columbine self seed in my shade garden-long blooming.
This is LouseWort or Wood Betony. Another one that I think is really pretty.

Have been working outside most mornings getting the weeds out and putting down mulch. While my daughter was on vacation we moved daylilies and downsized some beds. I have two early daylilies blooming now; species dumortierri and Stella de Oro. Have scapes and buds on a few others but it will be awhile before they bloom. Here is one of my favorite photos taken a few years ago of daylily Stella de Oro around the bottom and clematis Ville de Lyon on the front lamp post.
Have been on a stamping downturn but will get back to making some more cards or scrapbooking soon.

GREAT PICTURES!!
Thank you from my photographer daughter,Karen.
Bev, I love that combo of the brilliant Ville de Lyon and the daylily....great idea.
The wild flowers are beautiful. Where do you go to find them?
I work only in the mornings....can't stand the heat anymore.
I also love the new header picture. I am hellebore challenged.
Thanks, Glenda. We travel the mostly gravel county roads here looking for something different each year-spring, summer and fall.(G) So far the High Bush Huckleberry is our new one!
Thank you for sharing all these beautiful flowers, Bev! Amazing photos!
Well, of course you know how I love the flower photos. You have some gorgeous wildflowers there! What fun to go on a photo hunt for wildflowers. Many of our Spring natives have come and gone already, such as trillium. Well, it's mostly gone, turned to pink. Beautiful clematis, too!
WOW!! What beautiful wild flowers, Bev, and your clematis is sooo gorgeous!!!! I had one about the same color years ago in Iowa but the Texas heat is sooo bad in the summer that they don't do as well down here. It's supposed to get to 103 this afternoon so I'm afraid my flower gardens are their own today!!!
