Virginia Bluebells

Come with the whispers of spring

Blanket the landscape

Bold little iris

Welcome showy blues of blues

Linger till spring comes

Flowers give such meaning and beauty to our lives. The iris got its name from an ancient Greek Goddess who used the rainbow to bridge heaven and earth.

Stoic survivors

Gentle herds of herbivores

Wild on the landscape

Tara feeds the deer that visit her property, as well as the foxes and raccoons.

Yes, deer will eat your shrubs and flowers, but there are certain species they will overlook, unless they are starving. Read up and save your garden.

Come honey makers

Pollinate the bee magic

Summer please bring them

When buying seeds for spring planting, consider growing flowers that attract honey bees and butterflies and end the use of harmful pesticides that kill the honey bee population and harm the butterfly cycle of life.
