I have had a dainty yellow one, as well as one in periwinkle blue.<br />In the Wyoming mountains a white form grows wild--blooming much later in spring as do all the high mountain flowers.<br />I am almost overwhelmed in thinking of what I'll be able to grow--at one time I knew plants by Latin names, all sorts of botanical data.<br />Maybe it will come back to my stagnant brain, or maybe I'll have to enjoy my flowers by their commonest names. <br />When I mentioned the daffodils in bud at the cottage, I was told that the local name for them is "March lilies."Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-2329257691199004552010-03-06T15:49:30.896-08:002010-03-06T15:49:30.896-08:00I love all the varieties of this beautiful flower....I love all the varieties of this beautiful flower.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-53200579159980800632010-03-06T14:28:45.524-08:002010-03-06T14:28:45.524-08:00Southern Heart - I think you have Oregon Aquilegia...Southern Heart - I think you have Oregon Aquilegias (even if only in the wild!) The lady at Touchwood Nurseries is offering them anyway!<br /><br />Rowan - incredibly relieved, even though it means she will be staying in Sheffield . . . If you would like seeds of the Aquilegias I have here, shout out. Better still - visit 3rd week of May and chose your own!<br /><br />WSC - I leave mine to self-seed too, but have grown them to sell in the past.<br /><br />dubgirl - welcome back. The scenery IS lovely, and I am so fond of my B&W china . . . every piece has a meaning and a memory.<br /><br />Jinksy - that is one which self-sowed itself here. They mutate and I have all-sorts, including a lovely purpley-blue clematis-flower one with stripes.

They seem to bridge the gap between spring and summer; leaves one day - a delight in themselves, and then the flower spikes seem to literally explode towards the sky. Ballerina flowers, though I think I love the wild ones best.

We have daffodils blooming now and the hyacinths are peeking their heads up. Although Autumn is my favorite season, I do love Spring with all the new life. Enjoy your cross stitching this evening...<br /><br />Blessings,<br />DianneSouthernHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570700924252634215noreply@blogger.com
