Cardinals are around, too!
Cardinals are the only birds I know that are more skiddish than Goldfinches. But they're so pretty.

Phlox
The burgandy and the the lavendar ones are phlox. They have a huge smell.

Bluebonnets--
the Texas state flower. It almost looks like water, doesn't it?

The wisteria is just beginning
to bloom. Its smell reminds me of lilac, because it's sweet, and strong, but not overpowering.

This wisteria was growing
on an arbor at Camp Tejas.

A field along a country road...
I say that so you know that the flowers are not just here and there....they're EVERYWHERE!

My grandma would call these
posies, but I think that really means "they're just pretty little flower that I don't know the name of".

The red flowers are
Indian Paintbrush, and the blue are (ready....)Bluebonnets! There are nearly as many Indian Paintbrushes (Montana's state flower) growing randomly as bluebonnets.

Did I already share this one?
If so, it's worth another look. An old (duh!) building at a state park near LaGrange.

A Live Oak
(That's its type, not a description of its wellbeing!) I love how the branches swoop clear to the ground, and then continue to grow. This looks like they're all growing one direction, but it's only part of the tree--it's as full the other direction, too.

Indian Paintbrush
I think the Bitterroot is Montana's state flower, not the Indian Paintbrush. But maybe in Eastern Montana, it is the paintbrush. Thanks for the flower pictures. I never get tired of flowers!!

So beautiful. We used to have wisteria growing over our arbor in WA - It's smell reminds me of a mixture of popcorn and lilacs. I love it and miss it. Our oldest granddaughter was born in TX, and we have a picture of her as a toddler sitting in a field of bluebells. Spring has sprung in MT, too. No flowers, but the birds are back. No goldfinches yet, but have several blue jays and saw some waxwings last week. The robins are singing their hearts out, and the cock pheasants are strutting their stuff and making the usual morning racket. Have a Blessed Easter!!

Hi, Carrell!
My sister has wisteria on her gazebo, and that was my first experience with it. Someone told me her daughter had it in her wedding bouquet~~how beautiful would that be! I love it. I'm glad spring is in Montana; you guys deserve it. I loved your description of the pheasants!

Hi, Norma!
And happy Easter to you, too! We moved this week, and we've missed out on the wonderful Easter preparation services. But not the meaning!
