This is my secret suprise! I've been taking pictures of some of the flowers in my garden, and I'm going to post them! Unfortunately, all of my daffodils are dead. But I still have many flower pictures, with many more to come!!

Here is a red-orange tulip! In the front there were 30 blooming all at once, but I forgot to take a picture and now they're all dying and not as beautiful.

Here are three different flowers: Blue Forget-Me-Not in the top right, Purple somethings, and blue valley somethings (that grow like crazy and are really tiny and soft, make up a lot of my lawn):

Expect at least daily flowers, and I plan on posting more tonight!

I hope in the future you raise a talking killer plant and feed it criminals.

What a lovely garden. I am particularly interested in that koi pond.

And I gotta say that valley something picture is satisfying... it's the relatively even distribution of flowers across the picture.

Reyweld · 05-22-2016, 10:51 AM

We used to have koi and goldfish for our pond, but then a heron ate all the koi. We still have goldfish though, but we haven't put them out yet. (we store them inside when its too cold / Winter)

More pics coming when I'm more awake.

Alright, today's flower:

A Pink Peony! Please click here for the high definition picture, it's too beautiful not to see.

I would like to mention that my mother took this photo; I had taken photographs but hers were way better then all of mine, and I do not want to take her credit.

This might be my favourite Reyweld thread so far

Have you seen many pollinators? Everyone's all about the bees but I'm fond of the flies and waspy things and other critters who help spread the plant love.

Have you seen many pollinators? Everyone's all about the bees but I'm fond of the flies and waspy things and other critters who help spread the plant love.

A lot of huge fat bumblebees fly around my house, but there are also so many ants, yellow jackets (wasps), and White Wasps that are an invasive species and really scary! I'm not sure if the white wasps pollenate, but they have really strong stingers and bite!

A cute bumblebee story is that I was sitting on my front porch while it was raining (I like the smell and sound, very soothing and a more natural white noise for singing in and contemplating life), a bumblebee flew in from the rain and crash landed on my jeans. Then it pulled itself up, rubbed itself on my jeans, and watched the rain with me for 5 more minutes before flying back into it.

Events like that make me feel so connected with everything, I can't really describe it well but it was like spiritual.

Also, we get these little microbees that visit the tiny millimeter flowers like the valley somethings and the forget-me-not, and they come in a rainbow of shiny colours.

We set up bee houses for solo bees to lay their eggs in using old dried plant stalks and store-bought bee houses. I like bees (but not wasps!).

tldr: I am all about the bees.

Unrelated, sorry, but I might be the only person who actually really likes wasps? I am wary of them, of course. I wouldn't want to be near one. But I think they are just dang cool insects. They look angry and predatory all the time, but they have an intricate social order and cool nests. I am saying this because one time, some hornets started building a nest outside my dorm room window. Thankfully, I was in a single room and I never open the window so I just left the hornets there and I got to watch them build and build their nest! It was really cool, and I felt like they were my pets.

I think wasps might be my favorite insect. They are certainly the most gatr.

Reyweld · 05-23-2016, 03:04 AM

I would be fine with wasps if I hadn't been stung on multiple occasions by wasps while standing perfectly still.

A Magnolia Tree! It was a lot more pretty before, this is like its last breaths of beauty before it reblooms again in early/mid summer. When It's super beautiful, I'll make sure to get a good picture (I have very unsteady hands but we also have a tripod I've been forgetting about).

Reyweld · 05-28-2016, 01:25 AM

Today was too hot (hot damn) and the weekend is going to be 35 with a chance of thunderstorms. There is a very slim chance I take a picture of a flower on those days, so I'll have to give you many flowers later!

**btp** · 05-28-2016, 01:55 AM

I enjoy these flower pictures.

ICan'tGiveCredit · 05-28-2016, 02:37 PM

thunderstorms are flowers, take pictures

These are my favourite flower, and eventually, you will be able to see my favourite variety!!! However, they haven't bloomed yet, so you'll just have to wait...

Reyweld · 05-31-2016, 12:54 AM

Actually, while I have the pictures handy:

Pink Columbines!

And both in High Definition (too)!!!

These pictures are by me, also when I get the chance there are purple ones, white ones, blue ones, and more. But I have higher priority flowers that need pics first.

What do you want next? More Peonies? Tiny Poppies? Huge Poppies? The Small Yellow Flowers Of That Thing We Grow And Eat? Request now, but I'll probably take pics of all of them anyways.

**Schazer** · 06-11-2016, 11:07 PM

Can you tell me more about the mystery plant? I like IDing plants and want to try my hand at it.

a52 · 06-11-2016, 11:18 PM

Dandelions.
And daffodils, if you have any.

There were lots of stems of these little flowers, but I don't really remember anything else... I will be able to give you more of a description tomorrow when I can see them.

I'm pretty sure all of my daffodils are done for the year, and for sure all of my dandelions (which I actively destroy!). Fun fact that you probably now: Dandelions are edible. I have had both dandilion tea and dandilion salad, and I'm pretty sure it's also made into alcohol. Of course, you probably already new this, and wow am I tired.
