common_natureSaturday was sunny, so I took lots of pictures. These are from the house yard and orchard. See the forest garden and herb gardens, south lot and west edge, forest yard and wagonwheel garden, savanna and prairie garden, and ritual meadow and flowerbeds.
The barrel garden is in the middle of the yard.
Tulips are budding around the base.
The goddess garden has a few bronze crocus still blooming.
Daffodils are blooming under the mulberry tree.
These are double daffodils in peach and white. They're not very good for pollinators, because the wad of ruffles makes it hard to reach nectar or pollen, but they are pretty.
This is an orange-cupped daffodil.
Mixed grape hyacinths are blooming in front of the hollow logs.
This view shows the many colors.
These are blue and lavender.
These are blue and white.
Here's a closeup of the white ones.
Daffodils and crocus are blooming around the black walnut tree. Violets are beginning to form drifts in the grass, though still not fully developed.
This yellow crocus is still blooming under the walnut.
Plum blossoms are almost done.
One of the volunteer pear trees is starting to bloom. There are least a couple of these. The cooking pear tree is blooming too, but hidden behind other branches.
The Criterion apple tree is leafing out.
The pie cherry grove is budding.
Violets carpet much of the orchard.
Elderberries are leafing out. These are volunteers, likely planted by birds. They make a charming understory in the orchard.
This is the cooking pear in bloom.
The rain garden is mostly columbine at the moment.
The picnic table holds a container garden.
This might be bergamot.
This might be yarrow.
