Lots of spring color! A wonderful time of year. All lovely, but the sea lavender especially caught my eye.

It is fun to check things out. I do like the sea lavender.

This is a hardy plant that has resolutely made it through the long drought and is producing enough flowers to pick.

Beauties all — but I like that lichen the best.

Those different hues are so delicately shaded and blended.

Really, I could do without the dandelion. Although I’ve heard the leaves are edible, so that might come in handy if there’s a recession.

I know dandelions are the curse of many gardeners. Given our long periods of drought, I have accepted their presence for the flowers are important for bees and butterflies. I too have read about their edible leaves, but have not experienced that degree of hunger yet 🙂 Once the grass grows enough to mow, the dandelions get cut down with it and we start all over again.

I’ve always wondered about sea lavender – it’s very pretty.

It is a very hardy plant indeed that grows in coastal conditions as well as inland, where we are. It does not appear to mind the drought or the cold and requires little maintenance – not sure about your cold though!

Beautiful, even the dandelion. Tonight we have our first hard freeze and likely the flowers will all be goners by the morning.

I can imagine the sadness of that. You will have to celebrate the flowers of the southern hemisphere for a while to compensate 🙂

Yes, I will enjoy yours and you have quite a few to share. We had a beautiful Fall weekend and I returned to the Henry and Clara Ford Estate. They still had some perennials and a lot of roses in Clara’s garden, despite dipping down to near freezing two nights in a row. Bees and butterflies as well!
