Jamqueen-Camerajunkie: Ever seen these in your yard?

Monday, April 19, 2010

I'm sure they're a weed of some kind....they are growing behind a concrete wall off our patio. Only in about a 6 foot area.

I noticed them one day last week when all the flowers were closed up & they looked like miniature tulips.

The next day iI went out with the camera & they were all opened & the petals were already falling off!

I love walking around and finding new things blooming in the yard--even if it is a weed!

Kimberly said...: Ann, if these are weeds, they're gorgeous and I'd have a tough time killing them. I'd much rather have these than dandilions.

They remind me of Merrill Magnolia blooms (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimberlygauthier/4415105159/).

So pretty.; April 19, 2010 at 4:25 PM

Ann said...: They are definitely nothing we planted! I noticed more coming up yesterday--will try for a photo of the flower when just growing--looks just like a tulip!; April 20, 2010 at 6:31 AM
Caddie said...: I believe what you have growing is Bloodroot. It is a very good herb, as well as the dandelion. Dandelion is a fabulous medicinal!; May 14, 2010 at 3:44 PM
