My passion flowers just started blooming . . . what a BLUE!!! Saw a bumblebee tasting one the other day and all the colors together were just joyful. What is that last one?
Love that first one - so bright and cheery. I certainly know that the last one is a rhubarb flowering. I've cut dozens of those things off this spring. Very good shots.
Lisa, thanks, how I wish I could get the actual blue of the flower. It is almost the exact dark blue of new denim
Dibear, thank you
Cloe, would you believe I can't remember the name of it? I bought it at Agway a couple of years ago and it is a big favorite of mine. It isn't your regular bachelor button, but bigger and darker with different foliage...and thanks
Sara, thanks, this is my favorite time of year
colleen, thanks!
Ed, thanks, my fave too
Lori, thanks...it is so cool to have the rhubarb ready. We had rhubarb crisp this week and it is so good!
Shirley, thanks...it is some kind of perennial and I have forgotten exactly what it is called. lol
WB, thank you!
June, I have never seen them and would love to...any chance of a picture? And thanks...
TEG, thanks...I cut all the others off and just left that one so I could take pics of it. Sometimes I let them go to see and plant babies, but the darned things always damp off when they get a couple of inches tall.
Brenda, thanks...what I wouldn't give to remember its name. lol
J9, yes, it is rhubarb flower. You are supposed to cut them off so the rhubarb keeps producing, but I left that one to photograph. I love driving past old farms, long abandoned, sometimes with no buildings left at all, but the lilacs are still there and the rhubarb throws its flowers up, year after year.
Linda, I waited years to get one...it is a perennial..and so expensive. Finally, a couple of years ago, I indulged. It is planted under an old fashioned horse plow and looks so cool growing there.
What I have, somebody gave me, and told me it was a passion flower plant and it looks just like your first picture. When I Google "passion flower," though....none of them look like yours and mine. If you remember the name and it ISN'T passion flower, please tell me and I'll give it back to them, huffing about false advertising. ;-P
