Show me your bloom..please.
Nope not today either..still hiding.
TA DA! Finally! Slowpoke shy slippers anyway.
What else is blooming? The Trillium, no not a gorgeous thick bunch of them, but one very lonely Trillium growing along the edge of the woods. To tell you the truth, I appreciate this one small bloom every spring much more than if I had a whole forest full of them. If I had hundreds of them I would just take them for granted.
The Bleeding Hearts, no not the classic ones..instead..this little one with beautiful blue/green foliage. She is Dicentra exima..and she has a secret..if you water her and remove her spent flowers she will bloom all summer. If you are a lazy gardener like me, she will re seed all over..:)

OH! Beautiful! We do not have such lovely blooms here so seeing these was a real treat!

Our neighbors showed us 2 Trillium plants growing near their creek. The Duchess had never seen one before. Your Yellow Lady Slippers are so pretty. We have Bleeding Hearts but they have a much smaller bloom than yours. The detail in your photos is fantastic! Right down to the “veins” and the “fuzz”. (I’m pretty sure my terminology is wrong, but hey, I’m a dog, remember?)
Kisses for Chance!!

I like the bleeding heart and that it is different. Buddy sends his hello to Chance.
Pretty blooms-we have the same wildflowers around here-but I've never seen that kind of bleeding heart-neat.
I love these new little bleeding hearts. I bought one last year called "King of Hearts" It grows in sun or shade and bloomed all summer. And it's blooming now! Mine has the regular shaped flowers though and I can see that yours are a bit longer.
Love those ladyslippers too, although I think that lady must have some pretty big feet:)
I love these photos! We went out in the woods today to catch more shots of the Trilliums. I wanted to get them toward the end of their life (when they turn pink). I'll be posting them soon!
Such pretty flowers. Wishing you all a very good weekend.
Great job on those lady slippers. I just saw a show on create network on orchids and he wss growing the showy pink lady slippers inside. I think he bought them from a catalog as I know you can't dig them from native areas. I am impressed with yours. Good job Far Guy. Neat bleeding heart that I have never seen.
Now there is a great blog name....the lazy gardener. At least that one should come with a gin and tonic.
Love the lady slippers, they are stunning, actually you know that I love everything.

They really do look like slippers!
I think my whole garden is a Wildflower Garden! ;-)
Your wildflowers are beautiful. The ladyslipper must have very wide feet. Reminds me of my own feet. The only flowers I have are on my deck in pots but they are very pretty. Lilly
What lovely photos on my dreary, rainy day. Wildflower gardens are our favorite right now.
I adore trilliums and they are so rare around Maryland. We have the same variety of bleeding heart and LOVE it. Ms. Alpha planted blue forget-me-nots under it and they are a stunning pair.
Thanks for the smile today!
