May nature study

Yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus)

Bulbous buttercup (Ranunculus bulbosus)

Daisy fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus)

A tulip of some sort.

Some kind of azalea.

I bred this one myself! I call it "Speckled Sunset".

Columbine

Garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa)

Iris bud about to bloom.

Sweet william (Dianthus barbatus)

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) has almost completely overrun the Mary garden… (I guess Mary really likes peppermint.)

      Really? I thought you tried to breed an iris and then never found out if the seeds took.
