Beautiful Bountiful Bluebells

The bluebells this year are the best I have seen for a while.

It's been fun to just pick a big bag full.

I have a LOT of pressing ahead of me tonight!

Promises of Posies

My friend Sue asked today when prairie smoke starts blooming. On my trek through the pasture this afternoon, I decided to check the usual spots, and this is what I found.

The prairie smoke starts out in this redbud form.

I was really looking for bluebells, and finally had success in the search!

The bluebells are just getting started, and with the recent moisture it is looking promising for a generous amount of blooms. A few cold nights are forecast this week, and they might be at a vulnerable stage, but they are heartier than one might think.
