Nice flowers with great color

Primrose? Nice.

I love this time of year. Something new and green popping up, flowers coming and going for months. Fresh smell to the air. Return of the birds and insects. Frogs chirping in the wetlands.

Even my orchids, indoors, know it's Spring. I've got new blooms coming every 4-5 days. I've even a few orchids that I've had for years, now on their first blooming cycle. Lots of colorful displays and new fragrances.

Bougainvilles are blooming bright.

My yard was full of snow this morning. Snow and wind tonight too.

Maybe next month some of my flowers will start to show.

Something a bit different. King Sago Palm in bloom.

I have finally discovered my kind of gardening: Chaos Gardening. (Saw an article about it today. It really is something.)

Example. Cilantro just won't grow here. It is too hot. A suggested substitute is culantro and I bought some years ago and it didn't do all that well.

Meanwhile, last year, some culantro popped up in the lawn. I discovered it by smell when I was mowing. So I marked it with flags and put logs around it so I wouldn't mow over it and I tried to encourage it to grow.

Well, this year, I can hardly find any in the spot where I was caring for them. :-(

But today, I found dozens and dozens of them in two places in the lawn. There is all the culantro I could ever need growing all over.

That is chaos gardening. Here's a photo. It is not a pretty plant.

Spring rain has brought new life all around.

First flowers along my house popped up today.

#2 is farther away and it’s starting to rain so I just zoomed. And there’s another one just like #2.

#3 is where the poppies show up later on.

I don’t know what any of them are. Nor do I know much about flowers to begin with. If anyone wants to chime in please do. I don’t do anything to maintain them (I’d probably kill them), so I just appreciate them. The previous owners were clearly into gardening by the supplies they left behind. They died in 2015 and 2007.

The second one is trout lily which is a native spring wildflower. I don't know what the other two are.
