I bought this new plant over the weekend called a Sun Star.
The following are my favorites from my little mini session this evening.

March 19th, Day 78: More Ranunculus
I stuck my Ranunculus in my light box the other day, the results of which you can see here.
As their blooms gets bigger and broader, I can’t help but take more photos. This is my first year of having some of these plants around the house, and I love them!
Aaaand something else. not quite sure what this one is called, or how it will look fully bloomed, but I’m looking forward to find out!
March 18th, Day 77: Spring is in the air…
It’s slowly getting warmer, and I am starting to see more green everywhere I look.
The Indian Plum is making a big comeback, and like I’ve said before, it’s nice to be able to identify it!
Also showing their faces everywhere were these little white daisy-type flowers that hangout in the grass.
March 12th, Day 71: Ranunculus
Who doesn’t love a bright frilly flower?
March 7th, Day 66: Snowdrops
Also known as Galanthus, was spotted today as I strolled through the Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley.
Because not much else is blooming yet, these little white flowers were easy to spot from a distance.

Sweet blooms = Spring has arrived
My newest friend
Bi-colored Rhodies are a unique change
July 2nd, photo of the day: Tiger Lily…or is that a Redwood Lily?
While visiting my friend Ashley this week down in the Redwoods, we came upon a little patch of these orange blooms in her “backyard.”
They can be seen all along the roads right now in the Redwoods National Park, but this was my first up close and personal encounter.
They are so beautiful! I’ll admit, I was out there for a while….
Before opening
June 19th, photo of the day: A hairy pod
I love the little hairs on these pods.
Hurray for hairy peapods!
Originally, I was led to believe that the little yellow flowers on these bushes were Heather, but in looking into it more deeply, it seems that information was incorrect.
A few weeks ago, all the bushes around here were going crazy with yellow blossoms, like this:
And now, the blossoms have all developed into the little pea-pods like the one above.
I found this helpful PDF that discusses plants in the Willamette Valley (which isn’t too far away) and came to the conclusion that this plant is in fact Scotch Broom, or Cytisus scoparius.
So, yay! I learned something new today.
Today = Success
What did you learn today?
