I haven't been able to plant flowers yet so I took the camera to see what I could find in the yard. These are all wildflowers. Some I know and some I don't know. This one I know. It's a blackberry and there are vines growing wild all over the place. Watch where you walk or they will stick you. The purple flowere are henbit. I don't know what they yellow ones are called. This looks all white but it has thin pink stripes. These white ones are all over the yard and close during the day and open in the late afternoon. There are fields full of these and they grow along the roads and there are a few in the yard. These little purple ones are all over the yard. dooley
Great photos! You have a lot blooming there. It's still a little cold here for some of those to come out, but the Henbit and the Bluets are out right now. I think I can help you a bit on which are which. The ones that close during the day and open later look like Crow Poison (Nothoscordum bivalve). The next one after that looks like some species of Senecio and the last one is called Bluets probably Houstonia pusilla.
What a lovely selection of wild flowers you have Dooley. There's certainly plenty of colour in your new yard. :-D
I have Henbit here too. I think it was the first "flower" bloom I saw in my yard. The yellow flowers that you said grow in the fields and alongside the road usually bloom here in September(if it's the same flower), and they are usually a signal to me that fall is coming. Looks like I have a lot of chickweed around my front deck too. :'(
