more flowers we miss when we go to Alaska

More bell flowers.

New delphiniums from Gays Mills. One pot had both white and blue flowers in it.

I am not sure what kind of flower/bush this is. Haven't been around to see the flowers other years.

new foxgloves from Gays Mills...after we planted these, I discovered more foxgloves from ones we transplanted when we bought the house.

The pond gardens from all directions, showing the variety of flowers/plants we have in those plantings.

Spring 2017 Flowers

Our walks with the dogs twice a day have been greatly enhanced this spring by the arrival of many flowers.
In mid-April, our daffidils were blooming out in the woods, and there were beautiful little blue stars in the grass around the pond.

Then, in May the bleeding hearts showed thick in one section between paths..

And the wild geraniums are thick everywhere in the woods.

And along the west trail, we have wild columbines.

And here are several other flowers and flowering shrubs that I don't know yet.

Love how the flowers just pop up in the woods without any gardening required.
