Bristol, Vermont - May 2017. I love the fuzzy leaves and stems and the luminous color of Pulsatilla (Pasque Flower). Pasque Flower is the State Flower of South Dakota where I grew up and is native to the tall-grass prairie there. Of course I would have one in my garden! That tiny red spider was a nice surprise in the shot!

Bristol, Vermont - June 2017. What a delight when the bearded iris begin blooming! They are so dramatic and have such a sweet fragrance!
