In the hills above the river, the early spring flowers have passed their prime. The bleeding hearts are gone to seed, the fringe-cups are faded and tattered, the one trillium I saw was dry and brown. The flowers that remain are tiny and white.
Hooker's fairy bells, Disporum hookeri. |
Foam flower, Tiarella trifoliata. |
Star flower, Trientalis latifolia |
And trailing blackberry, Rubus ursinus. These will flower all summer. |
Another trailing blackberry. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
En el cerro tras el rio, ya ha pasado el tiempo de las flores de primavera. Las Dicentra formosa, corazón sangrante nativo, ya se dedica a producir semillas; las flores miniaturas de Tellima grandiflora, (¿Porqué se llama así cuando las flores son tan pequeñitas?) se han desbaratado; el único Trillium ovatum que vi ya se ha secado y estaba de color café (fresca, la flor es blanca). Las únicas flores que persisten son todas pequeñas y blancas.
1. Disporum hookeri, "campanitas de hadas".
2. Tiarella trifoliata, "flores de espuma".
3. Trientalis latifolia, "flor estrella".
4 y 5.. Y Rubus ursinus, la mora "del oso", o como la llamamos, mora trepadora. Estas persistirán todo el verano.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
