Sorry the quality isn't brilliant, low cloud this morning so the light level wasn't good.

Seed heads of the Coltsfoot flower.

Yellow Archangel.

Wild Garlic.

Arum Lillies.

And a few Bluebells

I am sure many of these wild flowers could be cultivated unless it is already done. That is a lot of photography - must have had to travel quite a bit..

Wow, those bluebells are gorgeous! I picked up a small pot of Texas bluebells the last time I was at the nursery where I get many of my herbs. I have transplanted them to an urn style planter with zinnia, bachelor button, purple coneflower, and salvia hotlips.

Quite a few have been taken in as garden plants, walked about 2 hours

Great pictures Zigs! I don't like Bluebells they self seed everywhere and I can't get rid of them!

That is how my English Mother snagged myRCAF lieutenant father. She took him for a walk in the woods to see the bluebells.....

Love Bluebells! I grow them on the sides of the house, they are just starting to open up. How I enjoy the first spring flowers, we have snowdrops that always warm my heart...

Everything is bigger in Texas, Zigs

I love the picture of the wild garlic. I wish I had some.

So i've heard

Most of the roadsides are covered in Garlic at the moment, you can even get Cheese wrapped in the leaves

That combo sounds beautiful. Can you post a photo please?

 

[DeborahJane]

Thanks for the photos Zigs. Lovely and also helped me. I'd planted something and couldn't remember what it was as it came upon thin lime green spears. Now I know it's arum lilies.

The plants are all quite small so only the bluebells are giving any kind of a showing at the moment. It's raining out now, but if you remind me later I'll try to get a photo of how it looks now.
