Spring Flowers And Bugs









The thalictrum tends to attract aphid larvae (at least that's what I've thought they were but I'm having trouble finding online confirmation) every year.  It's relatively easy to just clean them off.  But I was hoping that the blue damsel flies nearby might find them tasty.  But they didn't seem interested.




Our first iris is budding. 







Some of the dandelions have gone to seed already. 


I'm probably most excited about the lilac, which after 10 or fifteen years has a bunch of flowers.  Last year was the first it had any at all. 




And the tiny phlox flowers cover their green with a profusion of pink.
