I thought that the tulips I'd purchased/planted last yr were all pastel but my memory of what happened 5 minutes ago is sketchy 🤷♂️.
There were 3 pastel pink, one white, 1 red, & this vivid yellow👇. Took this angle because it kinda made the tulip look like a choir member with a slicked down hairdo in a fancy choir costume.

My ground phlox (possibly Phlox subulata/moss phlox) has achieved blanket status.
I'm a sucker for mass blooms. A friend of mine has large swaths of this phlox & was kind enough to borrow me a cup 2 yrs ago. A cup that was 1.5' x 2' chunk that I then plopped down in a 1.5' x 2' space.
Easy peasy phlox carpet squee-sy.

Caught these red tulips behind city hall in Coralville, Iowa.
It's nice to catch spring flowers in the shade. The reds, oranges, and yellows really pop.

Here's the other liverwort plant (Hepatica americana or Anemone hepatica seems likely) I found on Monday.
Wonderful little plant (6-8" in this case) and one of the first native spring wildflowers to bloom in Iowa. I'm putting together a tiny shade garden and would love to add it.

Here is same liverwort (open this time) from previous post today. As you can see, they look just as lovely opened as they do closed. Found another plant nearby that I'll post in response to this post.

Here's a few more shots of the liverwort (Hepatica americana or Anemone hepatica seems likely) I posted last Saturday. I went back to check on Monday and they were opened so I got a few shots of that one as well as another. Responses with the opened flowers to follow soon.

My false African violet has been putting on a nice flower cascade this past week or so.

The first wildflower I've come across on #ClearCreekTrail. It's the same species an the one I found first about this time last year, liverwort (Hepatica americana or Anemone hepatica seems likely). I don't know if it has opened yet or not but I'm gonna head back today to take a look.

One of my white tulips is about to bloom and it looks like it may have been visited by a jumping spider🕷️ (I'm not an arachnologist so I could be mistaken).
