All Things Green, and Purple, and Red, and...

Like nearly everyone else, our spring came very early this year, and the flowers started putting on a show way ahead of schedule:
The irises were some of the first; actually there was one blooming on Christmas Day!
The Knock-Outs are, as usual, knocking themselves out all over town!
One of the first of the daylilys to bloom - I wish I knew the variety!
And then, there's this!  I started watching this fine specimen weeks ago and decided to leave it up just to watch the flowers on it.  The bees loved it!  Now...the thing is over five feet tall.  I shall take it down when I locate the appropriate body armor (and maybe TNT and a backhoe)!!!  What a weed!!!!  Happy Spring, everyone!

Linking to Savvy Southern Style for Wow Us Wednesday!

  1. Nancy, I love thistles! You did a beautiful job photographing these lovely "weeds". I'm sure you will need a coat of armor AND a back hoe to take it out!

  3. Hi Nancy! I think your daylilly may be "Joan Senior," I had one at my last house and it looks very similar! Christina
