I will start this one with pictures from Spring 2007. I will try to add something everyday. Do you know your flowers. Name the ones you see. Which spring flower do you like best?

Any guesses as to what these are?

Your second one is a golden locust? The first one is a wild flower. I have seen it on the side of the road. the flowers and seeds are like balsam/impatiens. Don't know the name of it but I heard someone say it is a wild orchid, but I don't think so.

you correct on both michael. A sunburst Locust and Impatience Balsimica.

Was I correct in guessing yours?

This is a wild flower from the farm. They appear in three colours. White, blue/purple and pink. The flowers appear before the leaves and grows to only aobut 3 or 4 inches. Even with just leaves they are beautiful. The flowers are no more than an inch across. In this picture the flowers are a bit faded.

Don't know the name off hand. Do you? I have seen them in the local nurseries in the last couple of years and I know they have been digging in the wild too. A lot of stuff on their 'For Sale' table that I have growing wild.

Surely you can guess this one. This is a stray in my vegetable garden. I will collect some seeds this summer because it was so beautiful last Spring.
