It is a day lily. It is scrawny and missing one huge petal but it is my first blooming day lily! I bought two last year and hoped for blooms. My plan is to get more each year and divide the ones I have. I miss the amaryllis and rain lilies I had in Florida and I am hopping the day lilies will take off here in the front yard.

Wild violets in front of the house. They seem to be a different variety from the wild violets on the west side.

West side violets seem to have leaves of a different variety. None have the blooms of deep violet I remember in my own grandmother's garden in Maine. BUT... I have a WILD IRIS!!! If the weather is good tomorrow, it will be transplanted, too! When the Day Lily lady in our neighborhood has her sign out, I will fill the rest of my front garden with more bulbs.
