A few larkspur showed up in one of my wildflower beds this year. They were volunteers left over from some I had planted several years ago. These make such perfect spring and Easter time flowers because of the little bunny face in the petals..
Can you see the little bunny face?
The purple are more difficult to find in the pictures. They are easy to spot when you hold the flower, but I had a hard time capturing their little faces.
So happy Pink Saturday and happy bunny larkspur day. It has been a beautiful spring in central Texas. Every breeze is heavy with the perfume of blooming shrubs. The butterflies and bees are having a holiday in the hedge along the driveway.
I have a butterfly book, but I have not taken time to identify the many different varieties.
The wild purple sand verbena in the meadow draw lots of these black beauties.
The verbena are just about bloomed out. Like the bluebonnets, they are busy making seeds for next year’s show. I love spring. It’s difficult to make myself take care of indoor chores while the world is so beautiful. I am reminded of that poem by Edna St, Vincent Millay, God’s World in which she says,” Lord, I fear thou hast made the world too beautiful this year.” She was talking about the fall, but it’s the phrase that comes to mind when I step outside with my coffee each morning. Isn’t that a lovely thought for this Pink Saturday? Now go say “Hello” to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and then make the rounds of springtime pinks.

I love this time of year. Everything renewing itself after the long winter. Your flowers are lovely. Thank you for sharing them. Happy Pink Saturday!
My kids have had so much fun watching and playing with the butterflies around those bushes! And they smell so good! I see the face! That is so cool! I've never heard of those. Wish I had your green thumb! And hope we have a milder summer this yr. in central TX..last year was killer.
Hi LaVerne, I love your bunny face flowers. I have never seen them before. It is very beautiful here too. I step out on our deck and the view of the mountains takes your breath away. It was 84 today and in the 50's at night.
I finished your journal and will be mailing it to Beverly tomorrow. I am also posting it tomorrow on my blog and it is on our Facebook now. I hope you like what I created.
Happy days to you. Enjoy the outdoors and forget Spring Cleaning. HA!
xo, Jeanne
