hi, happy spring! what a lovely collection of blooms you have :) oh, the phacelia is interesting - I thought I recognised that flower structure, and it turns out to be related to Echium candicans that's coming into flower in my neighborhood too! one neat thing about the echium candicans here is the way their pink stamens seem to highlight the inflorescences for just a few weeks while the blooms are fresh. and then they dry up, of course, but they positively glow when the light is right, for a little while!

I just made a first little potato harvest from the yard! I'm hoping to get some more dirt soon - a bit late to plant most things, but we had car trouble. so it goes! at least I do want to re-plant one tomato into a fresher, larger pot :)
