I’m all about identification, so I looked them all up.\u00a0 I had been calling the blue ones irises, but really they are Common Spiderwort<\/a>.\u00a0 The pink, trumpet shaped flowers would spring up within a day or two of a fresh mow and wave about a foot above the grass.\u00a0 They are Rain Lily<\/a>, and are, apparently, attached to bulbs that will sprout new flowers every year.\u00a0 They also spread by seed.\u00a0 Next year I think I am going to grow our rain lily patch.\u00a0 The tiny pink flowers,\u00a0 Meadow Beauty<\/a>, are still going strong on the water’s edge along with some other crazy grasses that grow in ground too wet to mow over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
