Gotta love iris season! So many great colors & combinations. Too bad the flowers don’t last longer… although I do enjoy the green “sword-like” leaves as well. Luckily, I’ve got a good assortment in my garden… including these pretty bi-color ones! And they’re all starting to bloom!!!

Sometimes the cutest little flowers need a cute little vase!
Such an aromatic perfume from these little cuties!

What a wonderful weekend up in Minneapolis going to the ST. CROIX VALLEY POTTERY TOUR!!! We had amazing weather which only added to our amazing time! Hanging out with friends, seeing tons of beautiful pottery, chatting with some of my potter friends & “quite possibly” adding a few pieces to my own pottery collection! Allegedly…

Always a great time… and always on Mother’s Day Weekend. So if you didn’t make it this weekend… mark your calendar for next year. I already have… and I’ll see then you up north!!!

So excited every year when my favorite wild columbines start blooming. I know they’re probably considered “invasive” weeds by some… but I love how these sweet flowers appear to float & dance on thin stems! So cute!

After the morning rain… well-hydrated hydrangeas in the neighborhood.

Another beautiful flower in the garden this morning. These are always the first irises to bloom in my garden… shorter, smaller & sooner than the rest will be!

More Spring flowers popping up… this time vibrant violets in the garden. Also, a little known fact – the state flower of Illinois… and New Jersey, Rhode Island & Wisconsin!!! Who knew…

After last night’s storms, it was nice to see these little blue flowers still blooming in my front yard… unscathed by the rain! I “think” they’re Virginia Bluebells… I now have a couple plants & no recollection of ever planting them???

Cute little flowers in a cute little vase!
And don’t forget… tiny vases “need” tiny stamps!!! Thanks for sharing Kristy!

More beautiful Spring flowers… a little brightness on a dull & dreary gray day!
