This wildflower field is near our house. There is a beehive in the middle of it. It’s is spectacularly beautiful. About 3-4 acres of what looks like some variety of phlox to me.

Iris. Iris petals look so much like labia to me.

Best thread ever, A+

The first sign of purple here is always the cornflower. Beautiful gothic purple ahoy

Just something that caught my eye

Mine are still buds

Most of mine are too.

Most of mine are too.

I love them. They look like cabbage roses when they do bloom. Mine are so heavy, that they fall to the ground and I have to intercept and cut them to enjoy.

Perennials are the best. The gift that keeps on giving.

the ever evolving coral peony….from vibrant coral to the palest yellow. It changes daily.

Mine do the same every year. I’ve tried various ways of containing them but then they don’t look natural. I can’t bring them in the house because I have curious cats. I’m actually going to try fishing line this year to see if that will help…probably not but it’s worth a try.

Iris

Iris strained against her bindings
Through cold nights and the singeing sun of May
Nothing could break her unbendable spirit
She was owned by no one
She looked upward and onward
Ever the optimist
Arms reaching for the sun
One morning she finally came
Broke into bloom
She erupted
A stunning beauty
Spread wide for all of us to see
And love.

We get these too. I’ll take a pic in the morning. We always called them fireworks plants or explosion plants. That’s the technical name, I believe.

We just let ours flop too, but my wife’s clients like them hooped or staked up. If you google it, you can find dozens of types of stakes.

Still don’t know what these are, but they’re cool.

Your pic is better than mine but neither show how beautiful the inside of the flower head is.
