blues and purples

Two days of rain, including some hard showers, and the roof did not leak! Well, it didn't leak in the areas that I worked on. There is still one small section on the opposite long wall that I haven't got to yet but it's between the two bay doors and much less of a nuisance.

So here's my last spring flowers post...blues and purples. I took these pictures mostly over about a three week period while some were waning, some in full bloom, and some waxing.

 poppy

 baby blue eyes

 bletilla / ground orchid – I moved some of these around the yard last spring from the one large clump that always gets frost bitten. This little patch on the north side of a tree was apparently protected and it's the first time in years that I got a decent bloom from them.

 bluebonnets

 bluebonnets – several plants that came up in the old burn pile bloomed this very pale lavender

 rocket larkspur

 spiderwort

 spiderwort

 winecup

wisteria

 wisteria

 verbena

 mini-gladiolas – these probably should have been with the pinks and reds post but the weren't blooming yet
