Ranunculus

I hope everyone got their tax's off! I'm putting mine in the mail today! To take our minds off of taxes let's declare this 'Runk Day.' From now on the IRS will take back seat to the Runks! :)

Happy Runk Day!

I'd like to thank Catherine of the wonderful blog The Shiny Pebble for the 'Beautiful Blogger Award.' I am not worthy! Catherine is one of those bloggers you can't help wanting to know more. Visit her blog and see why!

Today I added the word 'organic' to my header. I wanted everyone to know that my garden has been and always will be organic. I want to show that beauty can exist without destroying God's green earth with unneeded chemicals.

I realized that although my links include organic companies I have never made a statement on the blog.

So I'm here to say 'Go Green!'

Now back to the beauty...

Ranunculus

My Ranunculus or what I call 'Runks' are thriving this year. I'll post a photo of all of them in their glory soon. This is a close up of one that reminds me of the English Rose 'Graham Thomas.'

Phlox divaricata 'Louisiana'

I have Louisiana Phlox in a shady part of the garden near my front door. The fragrance is delish!

Golden Groundsel and Ajuga

I've been letting Golden Groundsel (Packera obovata) reseed with abandon in one of my larger backyard borders. I moved some Ajuga last fall and planted them at the groundsel's feet hoping they would be in bloom simultaneously this spring. It is!

There is nothing happier than a blue and yellow duo!

Tulip clusiana 'chrysantha'

This species tulip opens during the day and closes at night. The interior petals are bright sunlight yellow. When the sun starts to set it turns into a red tulip with yellow edges. In this photo, I caught her just as she is closing up for the night.
