How Are You Celebrating Spring?
Front-Ranger:
It has been so wet this winter that I'm betting my favorite wildflower, the Mariposa Lily, will appear! It only appears in wet seasons. I'm looking forward to showing it to you and your mom, personally!!
I'll have photos here soon!!

They are blooming in Virginia, but not peaked yet. I am intoxicated by color.

There are so many yellow wildflowers of the daisy variety that here in these parts we call them DYCs (damn yellow composites) because it's so hard to identify one from another! You have to look at the leaves, stems, and how the petals are arranged and how many rays, also the color of the centers.
I've seen some spring beauties here and candytuft. Also, the irises are starting to sprout!!

FRiend Lee, I got my answer this morning! My driver Mike had asked another customer of his if by chance he knew the name of these yellow wildflowers, and the man replied that they are Black-eyed Susans, and are members of the marigold family. So my knowledge continues to broaden, as I enjoy these colorful assets to life in Texas.
Front-Ranger:
Yes, we have both black-eyed Susans and brown-eyed Susans here, but they won't be blooming for another three months LOL!!
Front-Ranger:
Okay, I guess I'm celebrating spring by going snowboarding!!
