It's wonderful how beautiful flowers keep popping up in my yard/garden, all on their own. They must be perennials. First there were some daffodils and then mini-daffodils. Then a couple of big low-lying purplish-blue blooms. Then tall orchid-like yellow ones. Now, pretty orange ones and an interesting pinkish-violet one. Not bunches of them, but a few of each. And that's in addition to the wysteria, Carolina Jessamine (I mistakenly wrote "honeysuckle" originally), 2 Japanese flowering cherry trees, and whatnot, which the season started out with. Last year there was a beautiful shrubby plant in the front yard with orangey flowers... I hope it grows back too.

And there's a tulip tree too.

And one spectacular "weed" which sprouted this spring and is now about a foot taller than I am. It has a single thick purplish stalk, with leaves like dandelion leaves radiating out from the stalk. And what might be the beginnings of flowers or seedpods at the top... but I haven't noticed it bloom yet. I am really curious as to what kind of plant it is. It looked tasty when it was still only a couple of feet tall.
