Hibiscus trionum (Flower of an Hour) Flowers are 2 to 2½ inches across with 5 round, overlapping pale yellow petals, deep purple at the base. In the center are many bright orange tipped stamens. It is an increasing garden and roadside invasive plant.
🌱 Winner for the prettiest weed 🏆 “Flower-of-an-hour” (Hibiscus trionum).
It was pulled before seeds could develop. #weed #bloomscrolling #midwestgardening
Cherry Tomatoes 🍅
I defeated the squirrels and chipmunks! 🤣 #Gardening #MidwestGardening #Tomatoes 🌱
Not a lot of people grow sweet potatoes this for far north. I wanted to concentrate on some super nutritious foods in my garden this summer.
We had an exceptionally cool spring and then when June came it got hotter than Hades. These taters like the heat.

An early summer garden is ready for the season. In this garden you can see the brassica family, onions, and lots of herbs
I put the last seeds and plants in my garden today. We got some rain so they are off to a great start. Now, all we have to do is weed, water,weed,reseed,weed, pick, and weed some more. Also, mow around the beds now and then. Heck ya, this is fun 🌱

Spring is moving fast. Seeds are still being planted, temps all over the place, doing my best to stay focused.

Delicious pink tulips with pointy white-ish tips echoing the pink heart-shaped blooms on the bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa) bushy plant in the background.
The tulips are starting to fade, much to my sadness. Up next will be allium, iris, and lily.
I like the way the pink tulips (a favorite!) blend with the bleeding heart.

Five dark purple tulips blooming. They are glorious. They make me so happy.
The tulips took their time this year, and the squirrels truly decimated them.
But now what's left of them are happening and I love them so much. I'm going to keep planting them, despite the stinking squirrels.

Native plant Prairie Smoke emerges from feathery foliage with curving stems and bright pink alien flowers.
They are back! Prairie smoke (Geum trifolum) are one of my favorite natives.

This is an ornamental Nanking Cherry oh my G. It is a rather short and squat bush with pink and white flowers.
It’s still cold here in Wisconsin, but some plants are valiantly trying to show color.
Here is a Nanking cherry.

A bumblebee hanging upside down on a cluster of lampshade-shaped white flowers, one of many flower clusters on a long, twiggy branch in front of a red brick wall and dried, brown leaves
First bumblebee sighting of 2025 at our house
(The flowering shrub is Lonicera x purpusii)

A crumpled, wrinkled, vaguely brain-like dark pink leaf with bright green veining emerging from brown mulch

Super proud of this Ragweed I've grown 😂 #gardening #midwestgardening #bloomscrolling
A sweet box, Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem,' a dwarf shrub with glossy, lance-shaped, evergreen leaves and tiny, tubular, fragrant flowers along its stems
A Purpus honeysuckle, Lonicera x purpusii 'Winter Beauty,' a lanky shrub, deciduous in our climate, with long, skinny, currently leafless branches covered in small, white flowers. The flowers are white, with yellow anthers and five petals, four of which are fused into a tiny, scalloped-edged lace cravat. They smell strongly like lemon-scented soap, with an acidic, slightly musty undernote.
A dwarf vernal witch hazel, Hamamelis vernalis 'Quasimodo.' A deciduous shrub, currently leafless, with small, citrus/spice-scented flowers. The flowers have four, thin long petals like paper streamers that are mostly orange but turn magenta and maroon at the base.
Our trio of fragrant late winter bloomers are really showing up this year
