John,

Both the Paris and the Trillium are stunning, but especially the Trillium.  What a corker of a plant!!  :o

Blooming in the grasslands now...
1,2) Oxytropis sericea var. spicata
3) More Hedysarum boreale (I think), in the wild this time.
4) "Buffalo beans" (their bloom time supposedly indicates when the bison are fat from spring grazing and ready to hunt... or maybe this was just a tale told to children  ???) - or golden beans,  Thermopsis rhombifolia
5, 6) Unknown oxytropis - another one to try to key out!
7) Geum triflorum, starting to live up to its common name, prairie smoke.
8, 9) Lithospermum ruderale - big mature plants, with rather different form than the younger plants in my yard.

Linaria triornithophora
Lathyrus odoratus
Lathyrus chloranthus- both self sown 'weeds'

Forgot to add on the pics of Salvia ringens and Stachys recta  ::)

Simon, Salvia ringens is a wonderful colour - and the leaves are so different to any I've seen  ::)

Lori, it lovely to take a walk along the riverside with you discovering these fabulous wild plants the oxytropis is my favourite and the Geum triflorum is so delicate in its display and colour.

A great collection, Luit, although brief in flowering Hemerocallis are lovely plants - Daily Bread a great name, don't you think?

Would like to know more about Nectaroscordum which looks intriguing   ::)

Simon,

How big are the flowers on that Linaria?  They look huge, particularly as I am assuming that is a bumble bee that is attempting to hide in the flower on the right?

Lori,

Your grasslands look like pea central by the look of it.  Some beautiful pics in there!!

Thanks all.

Thank you Simon. I can't decide what looks more beautiful - the Collomia or the landscape
in the background - what a scene!

Google is great!

Yesterday when passing a road near Osnabrück I noticed an unkown shrub which I photographed in order to send pics to SRGC  'Plant Identification'.
Before that I tried Google Images and in less than 1 minute I found the misterious hisbiscus-like plant:  Philadelphus x lemoinei ' Belle Etoile '

isn't it a real Belle?

Paul, the Linaria are about 5cm from the front of the lip to the end of the spur. It self seeds around and runs underground, but it is very airy in growth and looks great growing through other plants.
Robin, the Salvia ringens leaves are very interesting- there are other species with similarly divided leaves. The large pendant flowers on this one had me thinking it was a Campanula, as we were passing in the car.
Flowering now:
Clarkia gracilis ssp tracyi - self sown in a path
Dianthus hybrids (based mainly on Dianthus x allwoodii) in gravel under the shade of a cherry tree
Teucrium hyrcanicum

Wonderful pix everyone !

Simon, you keep amazing me with your incredible variation and diversity in your plants !!  ::)

Luit,

I've never seen these Raphiolepis !!! They seem very nice little shrubs - nice things to have in a rock garden, flowering this late !
Anything in particular we should know about them ?
