Unabashed Flower Photos

Yes, our garden is waking up.  And we've been lucky to have had some rain.

A bud from our dogwood tree, filled with spring rain.

Aurinia saxatilis blooming against a rock.

Our front garden is a sea of phlox.

And Kim's painstakingly coaxed Arrowleaf Balsamroot flower is brightening up the xeric garden.

Worth The Wait?

It only took seven years to achieve this:





Kim collected seeds from the wild Arrowleaf Balsamroot which grows among the sagebrush in our area.
Then he scattered it seven years ago in our xeric front yard.






Two plants germinated and grew. This year they bloomed for the first time.

Worth it?

You decide.
