Spring has sprung in Middle Tennessee, and we are heading into summer. Last month, I took these photos of wildflowers in our area, and I thought it would be fun to share them. Isn’t is incredible how God created so many unique, intricately designed flowers for our enjoyment?
If we have any plant enthusiasts in the audience, feel free to chime and tell us what these are called.

I’ve seen these flowers in our area but I have no idea what they are. I found them very pretty and I love how God gives us so many types of flowers.
Gabrielle!

It’s warming up where I live. Today 79, the rest of the week will be in the 80’s no rain. It’s still cool at night which I like. I enjoy the pictures. Tennessee has some pretty wildflowers. 😊

Hi Ellie,
As they say, there’s a free app for identifying plants! It’s called PictureThis. You can open the app and hit identify. It then opens your phone camera and you take the picture of the plant. The app will then identify the plant and give you all sorts of fun information about it. Enjoy!!

The pictures might show the following genera (or related genera) in that order:
1. Senecio
2. Stellaria
3. Trillium
4. Silene
5. Erigeron
6. Oxalis
I don’t know american plants because I’m from Germany and I don’t use a plant identification app. I’m curious about the answers the app gave you.

These are all so beautiful and all so very different and unique. It is so amazing what God has made. I love spring as a complete celebration of the natural wonders He has created. I wish I knew the names of these wildflowers. Nice photos Ellie!

I agree! I really enjoy reading your posts! But I can’t imagine reading through so much negative comments in order to monitor all the blogs- that seems so hard for me!

I love when I start seeing all the wild violets sprouting up along our hiking trails. It’s a welcome reminder that Spring is here.

Ellie
