It was awarded yard of the month. Driving around now there are still flowers but different kinds and colors. The bear grass yucca is blooming now. There is a lot of it in this area as is prickly pear also. There are four different kinds of sunflowers but all are yellow.
Wine cups are a lovely color - it is of the mallow family.
They differ somewhat from the primrose or buttercup families but it is difficult to see from the car. There are lots of reddish orange and solid yellow petaled species. Several kinds of thistles are blooming now and blowing in the wind. It was good to read in newspapers and see on television that Memorial Day was observed in many places. I had been afraid that the meaning of the day was being lost as the three-day holiday now is observed.
