These little primroses look like they are on fire, and today’s heat and humidity matched the hot feel from the blossoms on this first day of July.

On a sunny day, some red and yellow irises seem to pop out against the green, blue and white.

The day started off with a thunderstorm and then so foggy I couldn’t see my pond. But late afternoon the sun came out and the bluebirds were singing as they checked out birdhouses. The pheasants and woodpeckers added some mating calls as sandhill cranes flew overhead. The evening frog choir serenaded the pink supermoon as it rose in the sky. This April’s full moon, also known as the pink moon because of moss pink, native North American wildflowers that bloom in early springtime, happens to be the closest moon of the year. While pink flowers may be blooming elsewhere, the blossoms I spotted today in my yard were blues and not pink.

The snow showers moved in again today, which has me thinking of summer white clouds and white flower blooms, even little white clover blossoms in the lawn.

The sun was out today but it was one of those chilly winter days with sub-zero temperatures so there are no bright sunny flowers to be found like on a summer day a half year ago.

The skies darkened as rain moved through today but the sun reappeared to shine on the the cheerful Black-eyed Susan blossoms.

There is something about the white petals and yellow centers of daisies that always says summer to me. A Daisy symbolizes innocence and purity. It can also symbolize new beginnings, so maybe it symbolizes the start of summer.

The Bleeding Heart is not a native flower, but it blossoms say spring to me. As a kid, I would pull the outer pink petals off to reveal the inner heart. But one of its other common names is “lady-in-a-bath”, which comes from the shape when held upside down and the outer petals are only pull at a 90 degree angle and the two halves form the tub with the lady sitting in the middle. But since I never pulled them partway, it was not a name I associated with the flowers.
