Beautiful yellow prairie flowers!
Magnolia Flower
Magnolia trees are beautiful–ours is only a couple years old, and seems to really bloom nicely every other year. This picture is from last year when there were tons of blooms on it; currently, there’s only a couple of buds getting ready to bloom.
Tulips
I love tulips; the huge array of colors, and how they are some of the first flowers to appear.
Flower
I wish I could be more specific, but I’m not sure what kind of flower this is–these are found in northern Minnesota, in the fall.
Getting Closer to Spring
I don’t quite have blooming tulips yet–this picture was from a couple of years ago. So bright and colorful!
A Few More Sunflowers
And yet more sunflowers from northern MN.
Crocus
No, these pictures aren’t from this year–I just checked and no sign of crocus or tulips coming up yet. I took these in mid-April, in 2011…so hopefully that means we’re just a couple weeks away!
Summer
With a recent high temperature into the 60s, Minnesota has already gotten a brief taste of summer…at least until the next weather forecast. Looking at these pictures of summer flowers, it still seems a long ways off…
Mountain Iris
This is an iris growing in the Big Horn mountains, in Wyoming. When we were there in early August, it was nearing the end of wildflower season, but there were still some to be found.
Wild Scottish Flowers
I’m not sure what kinds of flowers these are, but they don’t look like ones we have in Minnesota. These were growing in the gardens of Cawdor Castle, near Inverness in northern Scotland. Fun fact: MacBeth was the Thane of Cawdor.
