Whats blooming?

[davidwyby]

I didn’t know @stig was a birder. I’m not super serious about it but I pay attention to birds, and wildlife period. Have been known to take a picture or two. Jack is a friend I met on my sky island where I escape the heat in the summer.

Crocuses have blossomed here -

Crocus is long gone from here. I think they were done over a month ago. You have better weather than me :^)

Black locust. Smells nice...

This Agave, aka Century plant, at the University of South Florida campus. They only bloom once, and it takes 10 to 20 years.

 

[Mellow]

No one else in our group understood my enthusiasm about seeing that.

 

[lxskllr]

That is cool. I forgot about it til you posted. I've never seen one, but I remember reading about the unusual bloom when looking up agave once.

 

[Kaveman]

Those stalks make awesome walking sticks and staves. Properly dried, they're feather light and iron strong. Can't do much bit dry and seal them, so you've gotta deal with the taper, but they're tough.

No frosts yet due to all the rain so I got some Tree Dahlias for a change.
I used to grow them in Sydney and brought a couple up years ago. About 12ft tall.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Nice. Our tallest dahlias are around 5 feet usually.

Saw hummingbirds today on our fully blooming native Lonicera.
And the first handful of strawberry season was today!

Dandelion time -

 

[lxskllr]

Dandelions are fantastic! One place I rented back in the 90s had a backyard that alternated between yellow flowers and white puffs. It was almost a solid carpet; kind of like your picture up there. It looked great, and was a lot more fun than grass.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Peonias are coming very soon.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Double Delight rose tree.
First bloom since planted for mothers day.
One if my personal favs. Got it for Katy. I had two in AZ at my entry walk. Love the color and fragrance.

 

[lxskllr]

I like that it's bicolor. That's a really attractive bloom.

I saw a bunch of these on a job today...





An internet search says it's Dame's Rocket. If anyone knows otherwise, I'd like to hear it.

Did you put any dame's rocket in dude's pocket?
