I thought I’d walk around and see what is blooming today. The flowering quince is “Crimson & Gold” and it just gets lovelier when the green leaves come out.
The daffodils are going strong…
Lovely sedum rosettes: peeping up.
Dandelion! I love these little yellow flowers and can’t believe people poison them. They are so important to bees who are out looking for nectar and pollen to raise up the baby bees this time of year. I can’t have enough dandelions!
Pretty little henbit (above), which along with deadnettle (below) are more important early flowers for foraging honeybees. Larrapin bees seem to prefer the deadnettle….
The tiny stars of spring beauty are all over the yard. Now who would want boring grass when you can have all these blooms..even though many folks would call these weeds?
Now here’s a vegetable that grows as well as a weed: volunteer Ragged Jack Kale. We’ve been eating off the patch in the garden all winter. This one is by itself in the upper flower & herb beds.
And unlike the “Flaming Fury” peach, this variety (name is slipping my mind right now!) is a little more hesitant. Which seems wise since it’s still early March!
Thanks for joining me on an early Spring walkabout at Larrapin Garden… May Spring be here to stay.
