Spring Flowers
It seems like Spring arrived early and left early, like a nervous slip of a girl to her first ball. Below are some pics of flowers before the heat and wind of an early summer arrived. I don’t know what all these are, so feel free to jump in and tell me.
I have been ignoring these iris for the past 3 years. This year, I gave in and watered them.
Wild plum trees went crazy this year. We are going to have an awesome crop.
Is this wild snapdragon?
Cute little white flower. Yep. That’s a technical term.
Globe mallow?
Big pretty white flower. Another technical term.
Cute yellow flowers. Semi-technical term.
Dandelion. Said with no hesitation at all. I know what this one is.
We transplanted these strawberries last fall and they are doing great for their first year with us.
I really enjoy these particular little white flowers. They are everywhere on the property this year.

Wild snapdragon is Rocky Mountain penstemon, a member of the snapdragon family.
Globe mallow? Yes.
Big pretty white flower is an evening primrose. We have a number of species with white and yellow flowers in northern New Mexico.
Cute yellow flowers may be toadflax, an invasive that can be a problem. Or possibly a penstemon, not a problem.
Thanks for the info!
