We got dumped on with rain over the weekend - so much so that I had to mow again just 3 days later! On the good side, many of the plants are now in full bloom! Some of these I don't have a clue as to what they are......just plants!

These first two are the Showy Lady Slipper - Minnesota's State Flower. For years we had wished we could transplant them into the yard somewhere - but nature did it for us.

The next is the Yellow Lady Slipper. Another variety comes in white, but the closest of them is about 8 miles down the road.

This is a variety of Baby's Breath. Is the first time in 15 years it has had this many blooms!

Ah, the lovely Wild Rose. This is another of nature's gifts to the yard.

Our lawn this season seems to be mostly Clover. We've had it thicker in the past, but then it thinned out for several years.

Only 1 single Red Clover this year :-(

These last two are plants that we haven't yet identified. Don't usually get to see them as the mosquitoes are normally too bad to stop and look.

Very rarely do we see honey bees. However, LOTS of carpenter bees, bumble bees, yellow jackets and hornets. More towards town, there are folks that have hives off in the edges of fields and open grasslands. Every Spring they set them out, then every Fall bring 'em all back in for the winter.

Worldtalker seems to know quite a bit about wild vegetation. I think he will know maybe. Either he knows a lot or I know so little he can pull the wool over my eyes:laughing7:
