Just Flowers - 05/22/2022

Primroses come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, environments and sizes. Here are a few different types. I am starting this early (I normally start this on Sunday) but, my wrist is feeling better and I will be on the road on Sunday. Please pile on with any flowers you would like. See you in a week and a half.

Arctic Primroses are found in boreal climates, even those that are isolated remnants of glacial conditions. They can grow in small cracks with as little as a teaspoon of soil.

Desert Primroses provide spectacular displays in deserts during springs in which sufficient rainfall has occurred during the previous winter and spring months.

Mexican Primroses can be found in semi-arid climates like Texas and Mexico.

Brown-eyed Primroses are found in desert climates after wet winters and springs. These are from Death Valley and occur here with Desert Verbena.

Wonderful work, Monika. Thank you so much for commenting on my wrist. It is not quite healed yet, but it is way better than it was a week ago. Then I couldn't even touch the keyboard.

I saw some nice little blooms the other day in our yard and grabbed a couple of shots. I showed the images to my wife and immediately got the stink-eye since this is apparently a highly invasive plant in our area. Our neighbor had planted them years ago and they have gone feral in our yard with my wife doing everything possible to yank then out.

The species is Geranium sanguineum which also goes by the name bloody crane's-bill.
