My first 2026 #strawberry #flower has emerged. Lots of flowerbuds are getting ready to bloom. After the blooms, come some of my early, sweet, homegrown #strawberries 🍓
This is in a large garden bed in the side yard - there's thousands of strawberry plants in that bed 😃
We love eating strawberries so we grow lots of them. I have 3 different varieties growing in our front, side & backyards & 2 strawberry planters on our back deck too.

My first pretty #PersianButtercup has bloomed. It was a gift from a local Palestinian friend 🧡 They told me that it's native to Palestine 🇵🇸

Visually, they resemble roses/peonies. Ornamental/cut flower uses only.
Toxic for cat, dog, horse & human ingestion ☣️

My #bergenia / elephant ears never stopped blooming, because we didn't really have a Winter. No snow, all Winter.
