White rhododendron flowers with spreading petals and long curved stamens.

White rhododendron flowers with spreading petals and long curved stamens.

Earth Day flowers. Tag says Rhododendron viscosum, swamp azalea, but flowering seems a wee bit early for that species. Flowers look right, though.

Despite common name, growing fine in regular garden soil. 🌱

Aerial roots can be co-opted for defense. The trunk of the Mauritiella armata is covered with short, pointed adventitious root-spines. The species epithet is spot-on: This palm is armed. #Arecaceae #root #Botany 🌾πŸ§ͺ🌱

A large peony with nine huge red flowers with golden centers. The flowers are lit by the sun, while the background is mostly in shade.

Very much a spring themed #SixOnSaturday, but with a hint of the summer approaching. We have Tulips, Cherry Blossom, Bluebells and the first Rose flower.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Six pics from my garden this week, a nearly fully formed aquilegia flower bud, (looking like the eagles talons from which it gets its name), red wallflowers, white starbursts of wild garlic, a red and white vampire tulip, variagated green hosta foliage and the first red saxifrage flower. Thanks for reading.

Morning all, ah the sweetness of spring, after months of struggling to find #SixOnSaturday to share from my garden, suddenly the difficulty becomes "which six?" Have a good weekend sky-folk 🌱

Each year when the forget-me-nots open their blue flowers, I find myself searching for a heart-shaped cluster. I photographed this perfect little heart in my late mother’s garden, a lovely reminder of her. Perhaps you might spot one too this spring, a reminder of someone special?

Pink flowers with fused petals that look like little plates or parasols are clustered at the top of a stem with long, narrow leaves.

My Kalmia carolina (southern sheep laurel a.k.a. southern sheepkill a.k.a. Carolina laurel) is blooming its heart out. So many more flowers than last year.

Luckily, there are no sheep around here. 🌱

Columbine flowers are definitely a #Spring favorite. While I grow the native one the fancy ones reseed just as well with so many different colors 😍🌈
