Results of my rideabout yesterday. First I found some wild spearmint and nipped off a couple of short stems. I plan to go back and cut longer pieces to propagate in water.
Then I found a wildflower growing in front of an old barn and cut a flower to bring home to ascertain that my identification is correct. Yes, it is a purple columbine and a very healthy one at that! Many blossoms were open with more to go.
Every year my neighbor's bright poppies grow in an untended bed that is around his mailbox. I have taken better pictures in past years but just couldn't resist the urge to snap a couple more.
Another neighbor has magnificent yellow iris and those too, were begging for me to capture them.
The marigold bed was overflowing so I tried to get closeup shots of a few. Well they are not as sharp as I hoped for but still pretty and colorful!
That was yesterday and I plan to hit the dirt road before the rains come. Wonder what will grab my eye this time? Stay tuned.
