Every year, I look forward to when our tiny Virginia spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana) begins to bloom just tucked under our ferns. 🌿 We have both purple blooms, and the less common white ones with their purple, muppet-like hair and tiny yellow peanuts. πŸ’œπŸ€ Sadly, I wish they bloomed for more than one day, like the Day Lilies. πŸ¦‹

I found a bunch of Yellow salsify flower, (Tragopogon dubius) outside of Mayfair Mall in an island divider. It is also often referred to, as the western goat’s beard. Interestingly enough, it’s a biennial plant, often considered an invasive w**d. Surprisingly, the entire flower is edible, and people have said it tastes like artichokes or oysters. Much like the dandelion, it spreads by seeds. I spotted the yellow salsify, because of its uniquely shaped, spiked flowerhead. 🌼 πŸ¦‹ **d

Good morning beautiful people! πŸ”† Our Giant Purple Clematis are blooming! πŸ’œ I just had a hummingbird fly right up to my face, and hovered for like 5 seconds…then it pi**ed itself and flew away! πŸ‘€ I almost did the same! 🀣🀣🀣 What a cool way to start my morning. I like to think it was my Aunt Maureen saying hello. πŸͺ½ She’d be more like an eagle though. πŸ¦… πŸ¦‹

I set a small goal for myself at the beginning of Spring, to start drawing again. So I purchased this guided gardening journal to get me started. I love the way the journal is laid out. I’m super excited that I am finally back to drawing freehand again. ☺️ There is something truly meditative, about getting lost in the artistic process. 🌸✍🏽 I’m very proud of myself for sticking to my goal, of drawing a few hours everyday in my garden sketch journal. I love it so much, I already purchased next years journal. Eventually, I’d like to make a printed book πŸ“– of all my flower drawings. πŸ¦‹

I just finished drawing an aerial view, of our backyard garden in my garden journal. 🌸✍🏽 I’m excited to start mapping in our front garden aerial view. One thing is for sure, we used practically every inch of soil planting this years gardens! 🌱 I’m so grateful, for the time that my family and I share in our gardens. πŸ«ΆπŸ½πŸ’ž πŸ¦‹

Our sweet irises are blooming, after two years of patiently waiting after transplanting. πŸ’œ They are quite Devine, if I do say so myself! ✨ They smell just like grape Kool-aid to me; sweet and delicious! πŸ‡ πŸ¦‹

Our Giant Alliums are in full bloom! πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ The new DIY thang to do; is to take the dried out Allium after it dies back, and spray paint it for a lawn decoration to last all Summer. πŸ¦‹

It was so fun to watch Mama Robin building her nest, in our Sambucas bush in our backyard. As soon as my Mom turned on our drip system for our flowers, she was diligently collecting mouthfuls of wet mud to pack around her nest. πŸͺΊ I must have watched her make at least 50 trips back and forth. πŸ¦‹
