New Blooms

Lots of new stuff poking up in the yard. Not only new for this year, but new for our yard. Yay for spreading wildflower seeds!

We even have some bluebonnets! Of course, they could probably qualify for world's most pathetic bluebonnets, but I have some. Yay!

And since things are blooming, that means pollinating things are flying about. Most of them so far are tiny little solid yellow butterflies or slightly larger spotted orange ones. But today, a nice little swallowtail visited.

Yay spring! Now if the pool was just warm enough to enjoy...

    1. Thank you! And that butterfly is the largest I've seen so far this year. I stalked it for a bit. It loves the vervain!
