Other cloudy day yard stuff

Widow sedum in my cactus planter is blooming.
Anybody know what these are? I have a lot.
Most of my cornflowers are blue.
One rebel is dark purple!
Englemann daisy looking good.
Dill leaves are very pretty. No swallowtail caterpillars yet.

Trimming the claws

I trimmed off several branches from both blackberry plants that had leaves with this mystery curl. It looks a lot like online pictures of leaf curl virus damage. It was not a leaf rolling insect, those I leave alone and consider just part of the ecosystem. The raspberry leaf curl virus can kill a whole plant apparently so I wanted to be safe.

A quote

“This is the most beautiful lettuce I’ve ever seen!”

I wasn’t present so you know it was truth and not flattery!!

Garden after rain this morning

This rose came with the yard. A lot of branches died back in the February cold spell and then I pruned the dead branches off in April.
Echinacea slowly unfurling!
Purple lady bok choy. I love the green and purple veins!
