Now on to business, by now there should be some greenery in just about everywhere, so lets shoot some flowers and plants for the folks without flowers…:-)
To see more of the wonderful shots taken use the link above.
That is a steady bee (no idea of the real name that is just what my Grandma called them) The flower is a weed, but i kinda enjoy weeds they are so misunderstood.
Another shot of a flower gone astray these are see that came up volunteer under the winter bird feeder. I have a hard time pulling up any flower!
Forget-me-nots and violets. I planted a pack of Forget-me-nots a few years back and they have attempted to take over the little part of my world.
A clematis just beginning to budThe ice storm did so much damage to the Redbuds and Dogwoods very few are bloomimg this year, I hope they recover for next year.

Awesome!! When we first moved into our house (new construction) we didn't have anything in the back but mud. Anything green was welcome, weed or otherwise.
I believe that was your great grandmother Ed. :) The correct phrase is: "A weed is just a flower growing out of place". Loved all your pics, can't wait to see the blooming clementis.
Beautiful! I love weeds, aka wildflowers. I'm delighted to have you name the blue flowers. I have never known what a forget-me-not was, but found a whole patch of them growing down in my field.
Lovely, lovely, lovely. Nature is such a comforting pleasure.
I always liked wild flowers. They can be just as pretty.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing some of your pretties. Some of my favorite plants are probably considered weeds..... :)
Violets--love them. Great shots!
If it were not for weeds I might not have any flowers ;) I love forgetmenots and await my own clematis which hasn't even appeared from the ground yet.
I bet that clematis is going to stunning when it blooms! great photos.
All really great! I just love how you got the bug on the first flower! Great job!
I like the clematis because it shows such promise and possibility!
Very very nice. Especially the first one with the little hoverfly. Love them.
Good pics. I have many, many 'wild flowers'.
Great shots!! I love the bugs :)
Mine's up over at my photo blog.
I too am a weed flower fan. I can't pull them up either, so have a HUGE red clover plant in one of my gardens. It looks like a bush it's so big. :-D
I love the flowers. They make the April showers totally worth it! Happy May!
Very nice! Well done!
Wonderful shots...love that you captured the bee! :)
Beautiful as usual Mari! I love weeds, they can make some of the most interesting photos!
Nice photos! It's too bad about the redbuds and dogwoods.
Those are great...even weeds have their place in the world!
Weeds are herbs growing where you don't want them too. =) As you said, I cannot pull up flowers.
Love the bee.
Very cute flowers! I love forget me nots!
I love the first shot. Its amazing!
Thank you for the support. Glad you like my post. Later

Beautiful photos ... just love wild flowers! Lucky you to have them all around you.
I like the violets! I have wild(?-I didn't plant them) ones blooming like crazy around here.
Your dogwoods will come back, there are pretty hardy. Great shots, our clematis are blooming all of the time now too. We have a mix of purple and white.
I really like the first one, a steady bee..interesting ..I have never heard them called that before:)
