I am tickled that February is almost over, and the temperatures for this week are going to be warmer than they had been in awhile. It was in the upper 50s Tuesday, and even though it was very windy, I was able to go outside without a coat on, and managed to get some photos taken. This is going to be a hodge podge post for Gail's Wildflower Wednesday.
I am glad to see the prairie smoke geums coming to life.
The short toothed mountain mints are looking great.
I don't remember which kind of penstemon this is.
I have noticed this winter that my memory seems to be getting worse. I know full well what this plant is, and I am wanting to call it a verbena of some kind, but I am not remembering for sure. It will have clusters of lavender colored blooms in spring.
We have had a warm up since the last snow, and it is pretty much all melted now. The flower beds look a lot different than how they did in my last post.
There are still some seeds on the cup plant for the birds to finish if they want them.
The Heuchera richardsonii clumps are greening up.
I think wild quinines have the longest season of beauty. They bloom pretty much all summer, and continue to look awesome in fall and winter.
I am not sure if birds eat the seeds. I did a brief search, but did not find the information.
Illinois bundleflower is another beauty in the fall and winter.
I have been spending a bit less time on Facebook the last few days. I am hoping to keep up with blogging a bit more. I am excited to see the changes spring brings in different parts of the country, and for it to make it our way. I hope things are going well with you.
