Around the yard

[eve_prime]

I'd fancied a walk in the woods to look for the rattlesnake plantain orchid and see if it's blooming, but I'm still too weak to do more than walk around the yard. I did that much, though, and took pictures of some individual plants. (No sweeping vistas of the flowerbeds, alas, as they're pretty much out of control.)

Shirley poppy:


Westerland rose (for liadanlj!):


Clematis (a bit ragged, due to snails):



Columbines (volunteers all over the place; note how cool the last one is):





More shirley poppies (see the damselfly on the second):



Roses along the fence:


Alchemist (sprawled all over the white picket fence):



Goldener Olymp:


Westerland again:
