Stylophorum diphyllum

Am so excited that the weather has finally turned, so I used my Prisma app with Surf filter, to artify my wood poppy image.

Stylophorum diphyllum is the scientific name for this lovely plant.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Paraskevidekatriaphobia: the fear of Friday, the 13th.

To help allay your fears about today, or that Mercury is in retrograde from May 10 to June 2 (associated with confusion, delay, and frustration), or any of the other myriad of disappointments, betrayals, anger, and sadness caused by our politicians, our loved ones, or the weather, here are a few items to give you a grin.

Well, I hope so, at least...

Sprunging

We are thankful that Spring is sprunging!

A few images from our garden:

Pussytoes

Pussywillow

Jack in the Pulpit

Wood Poppy

Violets

The first two plants were must-haves for us, since they refer to cats!

There are other plants with weird names: Doll's Eyes, Spiderwort, and Rattlesnake Master.

Every plant that I add to the garden is a native Michigan plant, meaning it was thriving here before Europeans walked through after 1492.

Native plants are acclimated to the climate; they don't need to be pampered.

In addition, they attract native bees, bugs, birds, and bats; creatures who are under stress from lawn chemicals and insecticides, noise pollution, loss of habitat, and diseases brought in by non-native hosts.
