Wild Flowers and prickly pears

The wild flowers are in full force! This spring I have discovered an obsession/ passion for flowers. I have been reading book after book on any flower you can imagine! Every Thursday when I get off work at 2 I had to the flea market and buy new flowers. I try to just get a little each time. I after mannnyyyy trips, I have finally run out of flower beds and pots! Now what? Make more beds! :) oh I also have bought 2 new 15 gallon crepe mertyls!
The prickly pear cactus are also in full bloom!! It amazes my mind that such an ugly painful and annoying plant can make such a pretty flower and so many of them! This year I may try to make a prickly pear jam!





Did you know there is a wild flower perennial version of verbenas? Yup this is it!






The plant this grows on is so ugly, but such a neat flower!






Now these are everyyyyy where!! But the bad storms earlier this week broke away a lot of the petals :(
