Spring is coming

Spring is coming.  My very first bluebonnet is blooming.
I planted quite a few seeds last year.  This plant and one other came up.  I'm hoping it will be the start of a lot of blue!

The ajuga has a few blooms.  It's doing very well in that very shaded area by the back door.

And the iris are starting, too.

These are all pass-alongs from my sister, who got them from my mother.  

One little poppy made it this year - my sister gave me this seed, too.  But her poppies are in full sun and are glorious. Mine is kind of shy.





Also blooming in my backyard is the pot of kalanchoe and the hen-and-chicks .
