This year we saw Astragalus bisulcatus (Two-grooved Milkvetch) and Delphinium geyeri (Geyer’s Larkspur) bloom. The bisulcatus has been growing for a few years (2-3?) but this was the first year with flowers. The larkspurs germinated and grew just this year. I sowed them both directly into the established Blue Grama meadow sometime between 2-5 years ago. We’re in Denver. We received over 5” of rain this month, double the average for May, which I suspect prompted the larkspurs? There are also a few white Prairie Larkspurs in there as well.

wow that’s a beautiful vetch!
Beautiful color and how fun that they popped up!
Gotta love Lahkspuh as we call it New England.
Toxic plants get left alone!
Oh man I want an established blue grama grass meadow so badly. I love that grass. Send more pics when it’s in bloom! Nice flowers, too.
Nice 🤩
