I love Prairie Splendor echinacea. I found it at a small, local nursery in Stillwater last year, @bigcreeknursery.

It’s just starting to open.
I think I’ll write a blog post about the explosion of echinacea varieties. So many to choose from. What do y’all think?

No filter except natural, evening sunlight.

Calendula Zeolights is a fun annual now blooming in my garden. Start indoors in early spring. It’s a cool season flower. Edible too.

I love this view. It wasn’t destroyed in our latest storm.

I stand here often and reflect.

This is in shade. In front is American maidenhair fern. It had fabulous black stems.

The red flowers are Indian pinks, one of my favorite native flowers.

Hostas, oakleaf hydrangeas and lots of other shade plants are here. I love this garden. I knew much more about gardening when I put it together a few years ago.

No enhancement for these! They stop me in my tracks every morning.

May I introduce you to Dahlia Black Dahlegira Magenta Bicolor, A beautiful and unusual flower with a way too complicated name.

How about you? Did they stop you from scrolling?

I think I’m in love with ‘Phyllis’ marigolds. 💛💛💛

I bought the seeds on a whim early in February or late January. I started them indoors and then moved them to the greenhouse as they grew bigger. Then I planted them in my potager and next to my tomatoes in pots.

They were named after Judy Seaborn’s mother. Judy is the owner of @botanical_interests seeds and a good friend. I think of her every time one of their flowers open.

These aren’t tiny marigolds either. They are African marigolds, big and bold and tall enough to cut and bring inside.

You can also eat the petals. I think I’ll add some to a salad tonight if I can stand to cut them.

Thanks Judy for such a fun flower!

Larkspur. Direct sow seed in October or February. I threw mine down upon the snow.

Of course, all the rain we’ve been getting has helped too. This is QIS™ Dark Blue from @johnnys_seeds.

Ooh that color!

‘Darcy Bussell’ is one of my favorite roses.

This rose bush grows 3.5 x 4.5 feet, and the roses are mid-sized with complicated structure.

It smells delicious too. A great English rose.

I grow her on the east side of the house up close where she can stay warm.

A friend of mine asked me the other day if I ever stop and rest and look at all of the beauty in the garden. I have to confess that sometimes I work so hard I don’t take time to rest. However, this year, I am in love with my containers. They make me stop in my tracks.

I chose a purple and orange theme this year, and I think it works really well with the blue pots.

I really love ‘Starry Sky Burgundy’ petunias. They have a trailing habit, and while they aren’t self cleaning, I don’t mind sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine plucking off spent blooms.

I guess tonight‘s post is just to say be sure to enjoy your work. Don’t just work so hard that you don’t take time to gaze upon all of the loveliness. It’s been a strange spring. The winter was really hard, and a lot of things are dead all the way to the ground. However, there’s still a lot of beauty out there.

Tradescantia ‘Blue and Gold’ is a pretty selection of the native spiderwort.

It loves the shade.

Plant trees now. Watch them grow over your lifetime. Don’t wait.

Lots of questions about this little perennial from Instagram friends.

It’s Geum ‘Tequila Sunrise.’ I bought it a free years ago @loweshomeimprovement. I’ve seen it there a couple of different springs. It is part of a cocktail series.

It wasn’t a trial plant, but I’m glad I saw it on the sale table all those years ago.

When the weather is nice, pollinators visit it regularly.

For more of what is blooming in my garden today, hop on over to my garden blog. It is Garden Bloggers’ Bloom day!

My favorite photo of the week is this one of the native oaks blooming in my lower pasture. I have post oaks and blackjacks. This is probably a post oak. They frame my every view.

When I see them blooming like this, I know that the spring honey flow is on, and my honey bees are very happy. In fact just above my head higher up in the tree there were hundreds of bees buzzing.

It’s also a good signal that we probably won’t have any more freezes. The native trees know best. For more info, hit up my latest blog post on Red Dirt Ramblings!

Sometimes I do indoor stuff.

New dining room rug. Now, to get the chairs recovered! What color do you think I should recover them in? There’s a lovely khaki, a terracotta and the central blue in the rug. My walls in the dining room are yellow with a haint blue ceiling.

Because we live in a log home, we already have a lot of brown.

A “moist” and cloudy forecast for St. Patrick’s Day.

Then, a wild wind blew in. It is definitely Oklahoma in March.

Delicate and airy, Hamamelis × intermedia 'Arnold Promise' deserves a place in our gardens.

It blooms early and is a forecast of good things to come.

It also has fabulous fall color.

A bright spot or three for your Thursday afternoon.

Iris reticulata Carolina is the darker one and Clairette is probably the lighter one.

They’re both beautiful.
