2011/083: Rainflowers
At least that’s what we called them when we were kids, and if you picked one, it would rain the next day.

They are so cute! I’ve never seen flowers like that before (or heard of them).

To continue the baseball analogy, they ware wearing pinstripes. π

Poo on baseball teams in pinstripes! π

I have never heard of this or seen them. They are gorgeous! And your shot is beautiful.

Thanks everyone π I bet you have seen them, they’re tiny little things.

I wonder who’s been picking the ‘snow’ flowers, then, in my area! I wish they’d stop!
Cute little suckers you got there… π

Snowflowers? I need to find the seeds for those! π

We’ve got them here, too. (Not yet, unfortunately.) I think they’re called Spring Beauties? Just looked them up in the flower book. Yep, they have those stripes.

Thanks for looking up the name. I couldn’t remember what they were really called. Was there a botanical/latin name, too? Pretty sure the name on the sign had something to do with water.

I love these cuties! And they make a nice header. Are they wild?

Um, well… in my yard they are (but they look a little different, more blue). These I found at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.

lol! I won’t bother you too much with it on my blog but I can’t say the same for Facebook.

Love your new header – those are beautiful. I have not noticed them here either. Maybe that’s why it’s so rainy, because someone picked them all!
24. March, 2011 at 16:10
Nah, I think you just live in the wrong state π
25. March, 2011 at 05:02

LOL I looked for some in my yard yesterday, and couldn’t find any, so I don’t have any to pick.

Does mowing count as picking?
25. March, 2011 at 16:07
I love these!
