Post a CommentBeautiful flowers! Thanks for sharing.
The purple blooms are not clover flowers, but violets.
Some of the others are new to me, so I can't help you, I'm afraid...
Nice pictures-It's relaxing to see the different flowers. Laura Everly
Looks like the time you had to spend in your father's garden has instilled the desire to "work in the dirt"
Thank you Tony and Pearl, for the feedback - I appreciate it! My father in law tried to teach me about the many flowers I have but I have forgotten so much - this will help me pull it together as a tribute to him~
The 5th picture, the bluish flowers, are called "grape hyacinths." They grow from bulbs. They are not weeds. We used to grow them up north. Beautiful! Very lovely pictures.
I really like these!!!
Number 5 looked rather like Grape Hyacinths. We have loads of them in the UK, very pretty.
The blue (or are they purple) ones are beautiful but after reading Michele's comment, I think I'd be a bit wary of them. Great photos!
Your flowers are way ahead of ours here in Michigan! Beautiful pics :)
