I’m not offering much commentary on this as I only recognize
a few of my new flowers, but am enjoying walking the “garden.” Currently I have more blue flowers than
anything else.
The pale blue columbine which is scattered throughout the yard bloomed later is much paler than the picture I posted a few weeks ago. Those more purple columbine appeared to be clumped and "store bought" rather than wind seeded.

Next in line are white flowers. This looks like Queen Anne's Lace, but the next picture shows huge leaves. One consultant suggested Giant Hogweed which is quite toxic. The leaves on my plants are somewhat different from the leaves shown in other Giant Hogweed photos. Plus my plants are not 10-feet tall giants. I did need to cut this one down as it was in the way of my clothes line. I took precautions of wearing gloves and washing up immediately afterwards, and suffered no ill effects, confirming that it probably is not Giant Hogweed.

Then a few red ones.

| Poppy Flower with Some Unopened Buds. |
Finally one green which might turn into a colored flower when it opens more.
And a one yellow.
