Driving 2 hours from home and saw two of these. They almost look like a rose but I’m pretty sure they are not

Virginia bluebells are starting to pop! They are generally native to eastern North America and they are a critical food source for emerging queen bees.

I have been growing seeds in the kitchen window for a couple months and this morning I woke up to this. Any idea what could do this? First I’m thinking we have a mouse in the house but I have not seen any mouse poop anywhere.

Grew all these beauties from seed for the first time last season in a north-facing, container garden in New England, 6b. Dahlias & Zinnias from Floret Flower Farm. Cosmos from Botanical Interests. Edible violas from Johnny’s. Wish I had a southern exposure but you gotta make the best with what ya got!

What flowers are you looking forward to growing this season?

At least I think they are Dreamer. I also got Double Surprise and Pink Star.

Definitely Apricot Passion hyacinths though! I got my bulbs from Brent and Becky's and I'm loving the splash of color for spring. 🩷

Someone spray painted graffiti on our fence so I picked up a power washer today. I knew there was a path around this Japanese maple, but had no idea how pretty it was!

That moment when you decide to have an active morning pulling weeds near your house, but you don't classify dandelions as weeds. In my opinion, their flowers are as beautiful as dwarf daffodils and not at all pretentious.

Do you see what I see? I barely grew any tomatoes year and it’s barely April and I already have some coming in! So excited. I made my own compost over the offseason and added it to this raised bed and everything is just going off!!!

I know you’re supposed to prune off the flowers when they’re young but this plant was just so strong growing and it was my first berry so I just had to let it grow 🖤
