It's quite the nice sunny day outside, the flowers sure seem to like it.

I had enough time to grab the SLR and take some proper photos.

Photo of two tulips. The main focus is on a tulip near the center which is a dark purple. The photo is taken from the left side of the flower, so it is facing off to the front right. Its petals are open wide, exposing a bright yellow pistil surrounded by six purple anthers at the tip of the stamens.

The other tulip is shades of orange ranging from dark to light, and its petals are open almost as wide, but it is facing to the side and its inside is not visible.

Photo of multiple tulips. The main focus is on a tulip near the center which is a dark purple. The photo is taken from the right side of the flower, so it is facing off to the front left. Its petals are open wide, exposing a bright yellow pistil surrounded by six purple anthers at the tip of the stamens.

The other tulips are shades of orange ranging from dark to light, and their petals are open almost as wide, but they are out of focus in the background and cannot be seen clearly.

Photo of a row of many tulips taken from the side. The sun is shining down into the flowers. The petals are shades of orange and some parts are almost pink. The petals are open fairly wide, but only the side of most flowers is visible. There are too many flowers to count covering most of the photo. There is one tulip whose petals are starting to wither.

Photo of a tulip taken straight-on. The sun is shining down into the flower. The petals are shades of orange ranging from dark orange to so light it's almost yellow.

The petals are open enough to see the bright yellow stigma atop the pistil surrounded by six purple anthers at the tip of the stamens.

Several other similar tulips are in the background, but not in focus.

It's quite the Affaire.

A photo showing several white with pink highlights tulips. They are called Affaire. The base color of each petal is white and the sides of the petals are patterned with pink in a nectar guide sort of way. There's one that's mostly void of the pink markings in the upper right. Lots of green foliage beneath them.

Sarvis berry, Amelanchier cusickii.

A photo showing service berry flowers. It is an Amelanchier cusickii and has long narrow and spread petals that are white on the end of a long hanging slender branch with new green leaves that have a slight red outline to them. The background is a shaded rock covered with lichen.

#Calendula

Close up of a bright and deep orange Calendula flower. It focuses on the beautiful reddish brown center. The colors are vibrant and feel buttery. I really love these self-seeding beauties.

As usual, our socials are quiet because the garden is busy. We're still managing to show up on most Friday afternoons. Not sure if we have the energy for a birthday party this year, we're doing some heavy lifting right now. So here's a update! Happy fifth birthday, little foundseed.

#FirstFlowers of the year have arrived: Aspens Populus tremuloides are starting to fully open their catkins (willows are just behind, first few open). They may be tiny, but there are millions! Officially wind pollinated, but they do draw insects.
#nature #BloomScrolling #Florespondence #WildflowerHour #Alberta #Canada #BorealForest #photography #GetOutside #GoOutsideForMe

Looking up at a strip of mixed woods, with many aspens in front. The row extends from right to left, seen at an angle so it goes to upper right and beyond, closest, and lower on the left as it recedes. The pale trunks and branches of the aspens, shaded dark in places and with dark markings, bear masses of silvery fuzzy catkins at their twig tips, with darker mixed woods behind and blue sky above and to the left.

Palest green twigs and branches with dark markings against a blue sky. From twig tips hang clusters of aspen catkins. Emerging from shiny brown bud cases, they start as silver brushes, extending to silver/pewter dangling caterpillars with red buds showing throught the hairs, then extending further and paling as the reddish tiny buds open to show miniscule golden flowers casting their pollen to wind. Those hanging in front in this view are fully extended and wind blown slightly sideways; they adorn a branch going from left to right making a band of catkins across the centre. above and below, other branches are a bit farther back with more blue sky showing.

A shadowed knobby twig rises in the centre, with numerous dangling catkins in various stages. Emerging from shiny brown bud cases, they start as silver brushes, extending to silver/pewter dangling caterpillars with red buds showing through the hairs, then extending further and paling as the reddish tiny buds open to show miniscule golden flowers casting their pollen to wind. Tangled pale branches in the background allow glimpses of the blue sky beyond.

A cluster of catkins dangle blowing in the breeze from a knobby pale dark marked twig, against a pale and grey blurred background of twigs and trunks. Emerging from shiny brown bud cases, they start as silver brushes, extending to silver/pewter dangling caterpillars with red buds showing through the hairs, then extending further and paling as the reddish tiny buds open to show miniscule golden flowers casting their pollen to wind. These are half to not quite fully extended.

My yellow peacock plant is blooming again. This is one of the few that I transferred directly to soil, and the height difference compared to those in pots is significant.

And just yesterday, I got new seed pods from a fully orange variety which I'll sow first thing tomorrow.

Als ich gestern Abend unter den beiden blühenden Kirschbäumen stand, klang es so, als würde sich ein großer mehrstimmiger Chor einsingen, weil die vielen Hummeln alle so laut und vielstimmig gesummt haben.
