RacheI Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Common Camus, painted on a utility box. Before there was a city here these were plentiful, and the tubers were a staple part of the local tribes' diet in the summer months. They grow right alongside the aptly named Death Camus, whose main difference is white flowers rather than these blue tinged blooms. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jkmlynch Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I wanted to find a flower with shadow in its name for today's entry. Alas, no such luck. Maybe someone else could post a picture of a flower with shadow in its name. 5 made up points will be awarded to that kind person. Here is a flower I found on one of my rambles. Foxglove beardtongue, I think. Great name. But no shadow. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harmonic turquoise Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 A flower with shadow in its name, it's a difficult task. I'll try to figure out. By the way, today's my entry is poppy, I think. Iceland poppy? It's like an AVEN garden here. I'm very happy to see more and more different flowers every time I visit! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacheI Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 These aren't technically flowers, but the leaves act like flowers in spring, and I think they're pretty. So without further ado, proudly presenting... The Japanese spindle! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RacheI Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Violets: their delicate flowers a fine garnish to most salads. I've also heard them called Johnny jump ups, which is fitting for a flower growing between a retainer and the sidewalk. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it's fun to learn the names of plants. From now on I will try to observe them more, not only take pictures. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacheI Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The bush sits on the far end of the lot, where no casual shopper cares to park. Unseen and unnamed, the forgotten bush does its best, but no one seems to care after the first week of spring. Fear not little shrub, you're loved here. Spoiler Even if I don't know what species you are. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jkmlynch Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I believe this is scarlet beebalm, but I am not positive of that. No matter, it is still an interesting flower. Sorry for the slightly blurred image. Windy day when I took this. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harmonic turquoise Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Today's flowers are California poppy, I guess. The language of flowers is "wealth", "success" and "do not refuse me". They are so pretty, I can't refuse them. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
