My little red mini rose apparently responded well to its early spring trim and brought its flower game to the garden. Take it easy, honey. Don't strain yourself😍

Some purple and red Penstemon blooming along the Iowa River from Saturday's bike ride.

Finally got out for a decent bike ride and found some false blue indigo blooming down by the river. Been trying to get it started in my garden but no luck so far but I really love this plant so I'll be trying again this/next yr.

A few more pics of my blooming native southern blue flag irises.

My native southern blue flag irises have bloomed! Planted them in spring of 2023 but they didn't bloom last year. I've loved these since I first came across them in the wild. Simple and delicate and that canary yellow along side the white with lavender veining is to die for 😍

Some lovely wild morning glories invading the neighbors lawn. ID suggests it's Convolvulus arvensis, a native of Europe and Asia but it is considered a aggressive invasive in the US.
Itty-bitty red mite 🥺 (likely a sidewalk mite per @nev👍) hanging out in my garden on one of my Canada anemone blooms.

My Canada anemone has begun blooming. Flowers are pure white & I used to struggle getting a pics w/o the petals overexposed. Highly aggressive & wants to form a monoculture. Great in the wild but a bit too aggressive for a garden so I have to keep it in check.
I ❤️ hyacinths but I'm also keen on native plants. Imagine my delight in finding a native wild hyacinth. Just had to have it!
Been busy so almost missed taking pics but caught it at the tippy-top of its bloom.
