Most of these I didn't plant but they are not wildflowers. The oxalis grows around the trees and have spread into the yard but I like them. I might move some to the new place. The tulip tree didn't have many flowers this year. Of course, the flowering quince is still flowering. It has had flowers about two months now. These have no flowers but will be red with white crinum? lilies. This one I did plant in two pots by the front entrance. So far only the purple pansies have bloomed. dooley
Lots of pretty blooms in your yard. The next to last photo...those look more like Amaryllis leaves than Crinium Lily.
Lovely colour, dooley. The oxalis you're growing outside is the sort we have to grow in pots because of the frost. They're very pretty. I like them a lot too.
I really like your flowering quince Dooley - Mine has orange flowers later on in the year. The tulip tree is very pretty too. Pansies always make me smile when I see them in flower. :-D
Oh my, I don't know which I like best. Guess I am partial to the oxalis, but they are all lovely. What a colorful batch of "wild" flowers.
I'm so envious of any color. I have all kinds of green abounding but no color yet. Sigh........... So pretty.
I just thought they were "clover weeds"! There's some growing at the house... I need to make sure my "mower-happy-brother" don't cut them down.
They might be weeds where you are, but where I am they're treasured potted plants or summer flowers. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder, eh?
Maybe I should move them to "safe" location... like my new flower bed! The flowers are just so dainty and pretty! :-D
Just wondering if you call Saucer magnolia a Tulip Tree down there. The usual tree referred to around here as Tulip Tree is Liriodendron tulipifera which is also called Yellow Poplar. I think it is considered the tallest tree native to the eastern US. It quickly grows to 100 plus feet here and the flowers are just about impossible to see until they litter the ground. They aren't that attractive either. There is also a tropical tree called he African Tulip which has bright orange flowers and is a heavy seeder. All of your flowers are nice and early. Our Quince is just starting to stir. Look for Oxalis to be big in the coming years. They are already breeding several annual tyes for the garden and they make a great foliage accent.
