In other news, here’s a fern that looks like it’s about to get all entangled (see here for more on the fern entanglement mystery).
Back to flowers. It’s not all about the sexy irises. Clovers are getting their groove on. They don’t get as much press, though.
I found a bug that when it realized I was trying to photograph it, got all up in my grill:
“I’m gonna get you, m****-f****!”
Honeysuckle’s still blooming, but also forming babies.
My favorite Solomon’s Seal has had a great spring.
Ferns are going gangbusters. There are at least three kinds in the shot below:
There’s this kind…
Maidenhair…
And this kind.
A partially-formed raspberry. I plan on eating it as soon as it’s ripe. Don’t tell it.
Speaking of getting arrested, here’s a jack-in-the-pulpit…
A final installment in the Dandelion Saga. Newbies, check out the rest of the epic fantasy series here.
Last but not least, a quick visit with some Golden Alexander.
In other news, I had a spectacular run this morning – it was cool (low 60’s), bright sun, puffy clouds, windy, and WHO KNEW, you can take ibuprofen before a run? Brilliant. 12.3 miles, baby.
The last of your ferns is perhaps the Interrupted Fern (Osmunda claytonia)? Sweet walks you have outside indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense. The biggest mystery is the one where on this other kind, some of the leaves seem to be curling in on themselves and creating a cluster. I thought it was an insect invasion, but now I'm wondering if it's some kind of reproductive strategy...
