Bit late for me since our flower season is almost over here.

But I’d say Brodiaea elegans is the star of late spring for me. Also looking forward to some jacarandas and trumpet trees if we are considering tree flowers too.

Hey that's an OR native! nice!

Do you not have spring summer and fall flower options? I’ve got a range so there’s always something blooming.

We do but not nearly as many. So the peak season is over is all I mean. Very few unirrigated flowers from this point on in the year though. I usually don’t irrigate too much, mainly food plants.

But I guess my tomato flowers are starting to bloom so that’s something.

Oh man, I’m like another month before I think of planting anything outside.

Last frost isn’t for another 2 weeks minimum, and there’s usually one late snow dump to crush anything you were foolish to put out.

Haha we have opposite climates I guess. I’m out here sweating already. Not sure when our last frost was. Maybe January or February. Frost is only an intermittent thing here, and getting less common.

Yeah our frost lasts from mid sept through mid may. Gourds are all but impossible to grow.
