Tulips

Really? I know what tulips look like, but these looked different to me. Shows you what I know about flowers.

Japanese iris?

[ElPulpo]

I'm wrong.

I don't get it - why should you be wrong? I agree with you that those are tulips.

Are the king's orange a type of tulip? When I saw that I thought I had the wrong thing.when I was really little I used to watch a guy named Ed Hume every Saturday morning. I'm not sure if he was broadcasting nationally or just local. Anyway, some of the knowledge stuck and other parts of it I'm sure are in there somewhere.

Are the king's orange a type of tulip?

Yes. There are so many tulips they have special names. Sorry for being ambiguous. I hope this time the link gets displayed better.

Lupine. Very common in the Northwest USA (Lupinus laxiflorus)



I thought this was called "Indian sage" but there is no such listing in my Hand book of Northwest Plants. SO I am going to have to blow the 35 years of dust of my brain the holds the use of a Dichotomy Key and figure out the true identity of the nice smelling but still a garden weed.



This is another one that showed up about 6 years ago and is becoming a pest. I do not know the name so I will also have to work on Identifying it.

I also want to put out a big Kutoos to Gentletides for starting this world wide virtual herbarium!!!!

I have two others in my yard that are not quite blooming yet to post.

 

[NoodleDragon]

I wish I knew, though I can ask around.

Edible weeds from my yard in addition to dandelions and chickweed. They are free, can be harvested early and the bugs don't eat them.

Humming bird moth on the butterfly bush. The moth starts out as a big green catapeller that is a pest on tomato plants.
New Jersey, USA.

Winter Crest (Barbarea othoceras) Very common weed and if let go will grown into a major "Brier" of intermingle plants about 9 feet tall.



Bur Clover (Medicago hispida) Member of the Alfalfa type plants the down side is sheep will reluctantly graze on it and it does not hold the leaves if you attempt to bale it.

Did you take these? Your damn good at this.

Yep, they're mine
I think more credit goes to mother nature for putting on the show and the Japs for making the cameras. I just pointed and pressed a button.
Although, getting to the place to press the button can be knackering:

A kestrel (?) snoozing in the winter sun on a willow (?) branch. I crawled through frozen moorland, with the dog attached to my ankle, to get close enough for this, in the hope that it'd awake and do something interesting, but it just kept right on snoozing.
