There's two interesting things going on here: First are the flowers of Eriogonum umbellatum (sulphurflower buckwheat). The second are the clear glacial striations on the rock face dating the ice ages of the Pleistocene Epoch.

A color landscape photo of a bunch of tiny yellow wildflowers. The bunched wildflowers are growing in a clump on top of a rock. They have green foliage at the base, a short stem, and a cluster of flowers at the end of the stem. The rock is semi-rough and dark gray. The rock features a number of parallel grooves caused by glacial ice sheets during the ice age.

Legacy crocuses that I planted some 25 years ago are still blooming today. I love the delicate stripes.

A side view of three crocuses next to each other in a row, blooming in filtered midday sun. These old crocuses planted some 25 years ago have lavender petals with pretty, thin stripes, thin green leaves, and the usual orange peeking out of their centers. They are nestled in a garden bed among dried leaves and twigs.

My seedGrown lemonTree has been flowering nonstop since January. This is her second burst this winter, perhaps anticipating the spring. The sweet aroma fills the kitchen.

Closeup of a lemon flower. It’s white and waxy, has four petals, similar to jasmine blossom. The stamens in the center are as long as the petals and have yellow pollen-tinted tips. The flower is surrounded by oval green leaves and small flower buds here and there.

Wide shot of the top of the lemon tree with lots of small white flower buds, with some blooming. There’s a shelf near the ceiling in the background, with lots of canned goods on it.

Pale pink magnolia, the best one imo, against the same blue sky (forgive the repetition of blue skies, we haven't seen them in a while here)

Peach blossoms in the local park. I enjoy that there are flowers of multiple colors on the same tree. #bloomscrolling

A bumble bee bum sparkling in the sun as it robs nectar from the African Flag flower.

P.S. This flower was in our garden when we moved in, but we need to rip it out each summer because it dries into a fire tender hazard. I would dig out the bulbs but the Anna Hummingbirds love it.

A black bumblebee with sun reflecting off his back is on top of a curved orange and yellow flower. There are several stalks with multiple curved flowers growing out of the stalks.

It’s Crocus Thursday, right?

A vibrant purple crocus flower with orange center blooming in a flower bed, with an unopened purple bud nearby, and a small cluster of cream-colored crocuses blooming in the background. The flower bed has a scattered mix of dried leaves and green shoots of other wildflowers, plus a piece of brown, dried wood behind the flowers adding a nice, decorative touch.

Springtime means sharing free clippings from the plants I’ve overwintered on my windowsill. Don’t forget to pay it forward. Kindness ALWAYS returns to its source.

Blue cardboard box affixed to the fence in feont of my apartment building. Inside it are teeny little cuttings of Wandering Jew plants.

Empty clay pots inside the cardboard box I’m going to put out front. Next to it is a leggy plant, a container of potting soil and a hand trowel.

The newest addition to my Alaska Wildflower Guide is Potentilla arenosa (Bluff Cinquefoil), a vibrant yellow flower frequently found near rock outcroppings.

Learn more about this species in my Alaska Wildflower Guide: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildflowers/potentilla-arenosa-bluff-cinquefoil/

A close-up of Potentilla arenosa (Bluff Cinquefoil) in full bloom, with several bright yellow flowers standing out against a backdrop of green and silver-hued foliage. The petals are delicate and slightly crinkled, with golden stamens at their centers. The plant's stems and leaves are covered in fine, silvery hairs, which help it survive in harsh alpine environments. Sunlight filters through, casting a warm glow on the flowers and creating a soft blur in the background, highlighting more blossoms out of focus.

I can tell it's spring because the Unequal Cellophane Bees (Colletes inaequalis) are out and about in my neighbor's yard! Please enjoy this bee investigating a crocus. (Sadly these flowers are introduced and may not help this native bee, but this bee is determined to find out.)

If you're wondering why they're "Unequal", inaequalis in Latin apparently also means "impermanent"; they only emerge briefly.
