Phlox is in Full Bloom and Especially Beautiful at Sunset
Phlox at Sunset Right now the Drummond’s phlox (Phlox drummondii) is in full bloom and quite glorious. It tends to grow in large clusters in areas that get adequate amounts of sunlight, which includes roadsides and medians. This image was actually shot in the road median just outside of Chiefland, Florida. I was on my way home and had been watching the sun getting lower and lower in my rear view…

// Fun fact:
I’m guessing based on some research (with some friends’ help), that the flowers at Arthur’s grave in game are Drummond's Phlox and Texas Lantana.
Also, I don’t have a good picture bc no one’s screenshotted it ever so I took a phone pic but Arthur’s flower he keeps in his tent is probably a Dudleya Cymosa (Canyon Live-Forever).

Wildflowers
Previously:  Chapter I: Incipient Chapter II: Halcyon Chapter III: Allure
Chapter IV: Dalliance 
Since his conversation with Serra in the field that day Quinn had started noticing Kyle even more. Specifically, he noticed how he had spent much of his free time chatting with Serra. To say he was jealous wasn’t entirely true, however it wasn’t false either. He had wanted his sister to be happy, and he was glad that she was able to talk to someone else comfortably after being at the orphanage for so long. Reversely though, he had wanted that attention for himself. 
Quinn found himself silently watching them over his book, which he had long forgotten about. He felt sick every time they laughed together or touched in even the slightest way, and he hated it. Irony would be so cruel to have both of them crush over the same guy, he mused to himself. Fixing his glasses, he sighed and closed the book in his lap. It was pointless to try and continue reading when his mind was elsewhere.
The next time he looked up Kyle was standing over him, his face smiling and clearly amused. Confused, Quinn looked around him for Serra. She wasn’t there anymore. He wondered for a moment where she had gone, but that was easily forgotten about when he heard the smooth laugh above him. Darting his eyes up, Kyle was still standing there, offering him a hand.
“She’ll be right back,” he said as if answering the question Quinn hadn’t spoken aloud. “You really do watch over her, huh?”
At that Quinn hadn’t been sure if he should be offended or not. Of course, he watched over her. Serra was the only family he had left, his little sister by three minutes and two seconds, something he would never let her forget. As the older brother, it was his job to protect her.
“I’m sorry. That came out wrong,” Kyle retracted his hand, shoving it into the pocket of his jeans. “I mean, I think it’s awesome you care about her so much.” Quinn still said nothing, but any trace of him being offended had vanished.
“Why don’t we go somewhere private and talk for a bit? I’m sure she’ll be alright for a little while on her own, right?” True, Quinn thought, but he was still apprehensive. He and Serra came in a pair, never one without the other. It was a foreign idea to him to leave her alone. A moment of deliberation passed before Quinn finally agreed, setting his book on the small end table in the living room before standing.
There weren’t a lot of places that were private. Sure, there were only ever sixteen kids here at a time, but that didn’t include any cooks or groundskeepers that could be wandering around. The only place that had come to mind was the wildflower field, and it seemed to be the best choice at the time.
Over the years, the path to the clearing had become well trodden. Anyone who wandered far enough into the willow trees would have been able to find it. They spent most of the trip in silence, and any talking that had been exchanged had been answered in a simple yes or no fashion until they reached the edge of the field. Quinn had never been quite sure what it was about it that made him feel at ease, but he visibly relaxed as the fragrance of the Drummond Phlox filled his nose, and he lead Kyle through the clearing into the large field. He heard the sharp intake of breath beside him as the scenery came into view and he smiled a little, a small sense of pride overcoming him.
“How in the world did you find this place?” Kyle seemed awestruck, his mouth agape and eyes wide. He found himself staring at the boy’s big, enthusiastic eyes. Quickly, he mentally kicked himself for comparing them to the color of open sky and shook his head of the thought before he answered, adverting his eyes back to the expanse of green.
“I guess it’s been about five years now,” he started. “Serra ran off because she was being teased, and I followed her here. So really, she’s the one who found it. I just get to reap the benefits by knowing how to get here.” Kyle chuckled.
“It’s impressive.” He took a few steps into the field, not exactly caring where his feet landed and crushing several flowers as he made his way further in. “You don’t see places like this in the city.”
“You’re from the city?” Quinn stepped beside him, though he had taken care to avoid the flowers as he usually did.
“Yeah. My Dad was from there. After he died, Mom and I never left.” He fell quiet for a second, as if lost in a memory. “I wonder if we had moved if things would have been different.”
Quinn could relate to that. Many nights had been spent awake lost on that same train of thought. He knew Serra had done the same.
“If you don’t mind me asking, what happened?” No sooner did the words leave his mouth did he regret saying them. He opened his mouth to apologize, but Kyle stopped him.
“She overdosed.” Kyle had said the words easily, but Quinn could feel his mouth going dry. “She got mixed up with a lot of men after my dad passed away. All of them were into a lot of heavy drugs. It was rough for her, and me, too. As long as she’s happy wherever she is now, that’s all the matters to me.”
A thick silence hung in the air as they stood there. Quinn had never been great at consoling anyone that wasn’t his sister, much less carry on a deep conversation like the one they were having. He shifted, uncomfortable and awkward and sat within the flowers, looking up at the sky overhead.
“Our parents were murdered.” His voice was heavy as he spoke. “It was right after our birthdays. I was out shopping with a family friend. Serra hadn’t been able to go because she was sick. When I got home that night, someone was there, standing over them in our living room. I barely had time to get Serra up and hidden somewhere safe. We were only four.”
Quinn paused when he noticed his hands had been shaking. He stared at them, wondering why he was so open about his past with someone he hardly even knew and telling him a story that no one else had heard before.
“Did they ever find who did it?” Without looking up, Quinn balled his hands into fists.
“No.”
There was silence again, even more unbearable than it had been before. Angry tears rolled down his cheeks and his face burned a bright shade of red. He thought about running off and leaving Kyle there, but what would that have accomplished? The air shifted between them and he felt Kyle sit beside him.
Suddenly there was a hand on his cheek and Quinn would have sworn he felt his heart slam against his ribcage before it stopped beating completely. The pad of a soft thumb wiped away all of the pent-up rage and anger he had been feeling. Kyle’s hand was cool in comparison to how hot he felt, almost a relief.
Then it happened before he could protest, even if he had wanted to. Pliable lips covered his own in a chaste kiss, leaving him wide-eyed in shock. His first instinct had been to shove Kyle away, but something in the back of his mind told him to stay, that the kiss was something he needed. Slowly, he moved his lips to fit with the other boy’s, returning the kiss with a little more certainty. Time seemed to stop, and his problems felt further away than they had been only moments ago.
When the kiss broke Quinn found that his breath started to come back steadily, which was a shock to him because he should have been jumpy, or embarrassed, anything but calm. Fleetingly, he thought of Serra, and a darker part of him was giddy that he had been the one to kiss Kyle instead of her. The boy gave him a small smile, his hand still on his face and gently brushed away the hair from his eyes. For just that moment, Quinn didn’t think about the past, or making Serra happy, and it felt good.

Jewel of nature: Tips for attracting hummingbirds
One of the joys of life is looking at nature. One of the jewels of nature is hummingbirds. Looking them hover over a flower taking in its sweet nectar is a pride. To peer them feed at a hummingbird feeder flying in, playing chase backward and forward is even more amusing. Closing summer season, my husband and I even gave each of them names as they visited us in the course of every day at our hummingbird feeders.
Hummingbirds are drawn to purple, crimson vegetation, purple components of a hummingbird feeder, a purple glazed flower pot, even the red hat or blouse of a non-suspecting gardener. They commonly arrive in March or April and leave in October or November.
If your gardening objective is to attract hummingbirds without a doubt plant some plants that appeal to them and offer a protein food plan of small bugs, placed up and maintain a hummingbird feeder and provide a water feature of some kind. If you need them to nest and locate refuge for your garden, encompass shrubs or bushes where they are able to find a home. To cause them to experience honestly welcome, offer a water source, along with a birdbath or water fountain, that gives a twig of water.
Once hummingbirds discover your red flowering flora, they may find flora of different colors in your garden which are similarly as delightful. In keeping with http://aggie-horticulture.Tamu.Edu, the plant life of preferred flora are “formed in this type of way that it can accommodate their whirring wings. The general structure of flower petals has a tendency to be thick enough to resist the beaks of different birds. Here are just a few flowers which might be suggested as proper hummingbird attractors and some they totally enjoy, even though they may not produce crimson blooms. For quick garden coloration, a few annuals are counseled. In line with the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, hummingbirds are interested in annual phlox (Phlox Drummond), Indian paintbrush (Castilleja individual), beebalm (Monarda citriodora), pink sage (Salvia cocaine). purple zinnias and orange-crimson marigolds will also attract hummingbirds due to their pink color. Those are only a few annuals which are suggested, there are numerous others that still will entice our playful friends.
There are hundreds of perennials that hummingbirds enjoy. Right here are some Texas natives that are earth kind and are easy to keep. Autumn sage (Salvia Greg), pass vine, coral honeysuckle, Texas lantana (Lantana corticoids), Turk’s cap, yellow bells (Tacoma sans), flame acanthus, and local hibiscus are listed inside the loose Texas Parks and Natural world Hummingbird lawn brochure to be had at Those Texas natives will be available on the Bell County Master Gardener Spring Plant Sale on Saturday, March twenty-fifth from eight a.M. to one:00 p.M. at the Bell County AgriLife Extension Workplace study room positioned at 1605 N. Principal, Belton, Texas.
Hummingbird feeders are with ease available at many shops and gardening centers. Make sure they have got crimson features. The food used to fill These feeders is an easy recipe of 4 components water and one part sugar (one cup of water and ¼ cup sugar). The water needs to be boiled earlier than measuring. it could also be boiled in the microwave for three mins earlier than including the sugar, stir until the sugar is dissolved. Permit the aggregate cool before filling the feeder. I like to make up a batch of greater than I want to fill my hummingbird feeders and put the relaxation inside the fridge for while the feeder needs to be crammed again.
The feeder wishes to be cleaned and refilled approximately two times every week or greater regularly if empty so that the combination does no longer sour. Do now not upload purple food coloring to this combination. It is believed that red dye is harmful to our feathered pals.
And an interesting bit of facts found on One of the hummingbird internet sites is that If you discover that your hummingbird feeder is not attracting hummingbirds otherwise you find that bees and wasps are playing the food you are imparting, attempt painting any yellow features in your feeder crimson. Bees and wasps are interested in the yellow coloration and stay far away from purple. I have no longer examined this but, however, I did a word that wasps had been attracted to my feeder Final summer.
With a touching attempt, you possibly can revel in the fruits of gardening and the visits of our stunning and playful tiny feathered buddies that help to pollinate flora as they soar from one flower to the next filling their tummies with scrumptious nectar.
Bell County Master Gardeners will have a sales space at the home and garden Show at the Bell County Expo Center this, weekend February 24 (evening), 25 & 26. Here you will discover licensed Master gardeners who can solution your precise gardening questions. There will be gardening brochures to be had and extra information about the upcoming Spring Plant Sale. There will also be seminars on gardening topics that you may enjoy.

Wild Flowers
Wild Blossoms are of exceptional enthusiasm to bloom mates. Most wild blossoms are excellent, fragrant and vivid. Wild Blossoms can be developed in greenery enclosures and pretty much anyplace else. Wildflowers are those that become suddenly under separate helpful conditions, even without being intentionally developed.
Maybe because of their tremendous interest for bloom beaus, seeds of Wild Blossom knolls - a couple blended Wild Blossom species - are sold financially. The term ‹Wild Flower⋠has been made unclear by business seedsmen who are keen on offering all the more wild blossoms or wild bloom seeds more lavishly than when named with just its name or potentially starting point. The term suggests that the plant presumably is neither a crossover nor a chose cultivar (a developed determination of a plant animal categories that is vegetatively proliferated) that is in any capacity not the same as the way it shows up in the wild as a local plant, regardless of the possibility that it is developing where it would not actually.

The First Beautiful Phlox Flowers are Here
First Phlox of Spring The last two days have been miserably rainy and kind of cold, keeping me pretty much confined to the house. Days like that always make me feel tired and blah, so I was very happy to see the sun shining this morning when I woke up. When I headed into town to complete some errands, I was also very happy to see a few little Drummond’s phlox flowers (Phlox drummondii) blooming…
