May 2026: May flowers

Red hot poker ready to show off in late May.

Our son, Rylan, picking sunflowers for the first time.

I'm always happy to see our poppies bloom right before Memorial Day, as they symbolize remembrance for fallen soldiers.

Butterfly on a flowering weed.

White mullein found on our property.

This is my daughter, Eloie (7), holding flowers she received for Christmas.

My favorite red peony.

May flower up close, and 

Violet and Daisy are enjoying a day outside next to some fresh spring tulips.

Blooms in our front yard: Lupines, Irises, Snow in Summer.
