This morning I was feeling grumpy. So, Jubilee and I took a short walk. We saw so many flowers that we decided it should be a flower walk, and we should take pictures of each flower we saw. Here are the pictures!
 |
| Jubilee with a popcorn tree! |
 |
| This little white flower was prolific in the arboretum |
 |
| Wild violets! |
 |
| Grass flower |
 |
| We had some of this in our yard in IL. |
 |
| Purple flower, with bonus red grass flowers and yellow flowers. |
 |
| The closest thing we could find to a flower in the succulent bed |
 |
| I think this is the prettiest weed |
 |
| Seeds starting on one of the trees |
 |
| An iris, the biggest flower we saw! |
 |
| Anybody know the name of these purple ones? |
 |
| Dandelion flower, among white petals from a tree. |
 |
| The tiniest flower we saw, and the only BLUE one! |
 |
| Flowers on a crab apple tree |
 |
| I don't know the name of this one. |
 |
| Not sure about this one either. |
 |
| We just looked this one up, and it's called Solomon's Seal. |
 |
| Pretty sure that this little tree is an Asian Magnolia. |

I have been enjoying this post for a few days now. But I have been subbing 4th grade, which keeps ya hoppin', so I haven't had time to identify - which sounded fun to me =)
I am not at all positive on many of these since the photo can be misleading, but here are my guesses:
1. Jubilee flower.
2. Is this a clover? the back ground leaves do not say clover but it might just be popping up through those long leaves.
3. wood violets
4. Do you think this is a fescue?
5. cinquefoil
6. Purple: Lobelia - its purple because the soil's pH isn't quite right to make it blue. Red: I know you said this is a grass, but could it be knotweed? Yellow: cinquefoil.
7. I am thinking this is Echeveria because of the rosette shape - but there are lots of varieties - might be fun to learn more about. =)
8. cinquefoil
9. maple tree
10. White bearded Irises come in many "flavors" like "catch a star" and "champagne elegance", so it might be fun to learn more about that, too. I love Irises because my mother grew them in our yard.
11. Bluebells - again they are a little purple because of the soil pH.
12. Dandelion
13. Birdseye Speedwell?
14. Crabapple
15. Winter cress??? I need to see some leaves.
16. Primrose?
17. Solomon's seal
18. I will take your word that this is a magnolia.
That was fun! Let's do some more =)
