It looks so beautiful and so natural addy! All the lucky plants that get to live on your property, they seem to do so well!

It has been a nice wet spring, the first time in a while. The last two springs were real dry and hot. This one has been better, finally wetter, cooler and nice. The plants are going crazy.

Great looking fields. What are those yellow flowers?

 

[addy1]

Gloriosa Daisy, rudbeckia gloriosa
I put out a load of seeds a few years back, wildflower deer resistant mix, the daisy became the predominant flower, most likely because it is the one that could survive without water. We had two really dry summers. The finches land in a yellow wave eating the seeds when the flowers begin to seed. Just beautiful


The wildflower field near our house, the purple flowers and white daisy's are the predominant flower. I need to look up the name of the purple one, this was a native to our area mix of seed. The purple are now fading out and the white daisy's taking over. It blooms all summer with different flowers coming up

Very pretty addy!

aww I love spring jw, so pretty, esp since we got some rain this year and it has not been as hot, well until this weekend.

Looking down the stream

They started blooming, I need to move some deeper, sort of bunched together.

Water Willow a bog plant, just bloomed, tiny flower but so pretty

 

[j.w]

It never stops w/ the beauty at your pond...........always something new in bloom!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Real nice Lilly pads and flowers, I have only a few pads right now, weather has been cold here, below normal for May, so my lillys are way behind. I sure enjoy your nice pictures!

 

[addy1]

They are giving me huge blooms so far, I really groomed them back, didn't think they would so so well. in other words chopped the poop out of them, shipped out over 200 lily tubers.

 

[j.w]

Holy cow that's a lot of lilies addy! They must know you well at the post office! Yours are coming up in my pond and am waiting for the pretty blooms to show their faces. Not sure if the purple iris will bloom this year or not. My old yellow ones are blooming now but their are some iris that haven't opened up yet which could be the dark ones. If not prolly next year.
