Those are some of the prettiest clematis that I've seen.

Those are some of the prettiest clematis that I've seen.

Thank you. Clematis flowers are great for small yards like mine since they mostly take up boundary vertical space, leaving the rest of the yard for fruit or pre-bonsai trees.

Nothing special, just some common violets out in the garden.

"Common" does NOT mean "not special."
Johnny Jump-ups are cool.

Clematis, Siberia irises, and a climbing rose in my weeping Atlas blue cedar.

I know it’s technically not a flower but, it’s the closest thing my white spruce has to a flower and I think they’re stunning.
Just to keep this post legal, here are some flowers on one of the crab apples

Some satsuki:

Murraya paniculata - orange jasmine. Eight month from seed. I picked up a fallen off "berry" in a nursery. It had a pit consisting of two half round seeds. Both sprouted and grew over winter under the lights in a terrarium. One started to bloom.

Very cool! I've been on the hunt for one of these, just haven't found anything but small ones.

Here's some Dame's rockets that aren't the usual purple or white.


And a Pinkbell.

Kate, you are in for a treat!
These make great bonsai: I started one from a 3" seedling in 1988 as a present to my new boyfriend (coming up on 36 years together in August!).
I trained it as a cascade and it was a gorgeous fragrant joy until our greenhouse fire in January 2019.
I promptly started a new one (so now 5 years old). Mine have bloomed at least 3 times per year. Because the leaves are compound, they require a lot of disciplined pruning. Watch for wire cutting into quickly swelling branches in the summer. Wounds from pruning heal very quickly.

Flowers I came across.

a project of mine is the growing of Canada plum . Prunus Nigra . Pics are to show the distinction in the flowers . First pic with more yellow is American plum. ( actually a hybrid natural cross from a fruit orchard nursery expected cross with European fruit tree May be unique cultivar ) but for this purpose the flowers are correct . The second pic is Canada . Note the red . These are also smaller and less of them . On some the flower pistols are also red but not mine so far , the hint of red/ pink in the petals is also supposed to increase as they fade. This is the first time they are flowering so we will see

Lavender Star Flower​

(Grewia Occidentalis)​

Must be one of those last desperate attempts to reproduce before it dies because it is in pretty bad shape due to neglect over the winter.

Some hawthorns down at the local public park, great show this year I think!









This one's got great bones but had a newbie first styling :

Ponderosa lemon. Smells wonderful.
