Your Resurrection flowers are what I know as Pink Ladies! Mine have followed me from house to house for over 25 years.

Good to know! Local nomenclature and common names are confusing! Ive moved some in the past to different houses but these were planted here about 6 years ago!

Saw this plant growing wild by my hometown lake as a kid, and was amazed that such a large, showy flower existed in Minnesota. Now I have it in my garden thanks to Prairie Moon nursery.

Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos)


Another Minnesota native. I bought the seed from Prairie Moon in 2012.  Squirrels dug up most of the seeds, and I thought none had actually germinated. Then 5 years later a little seedling I thought was something else made its first flower and I realized one bellwort did survive.  Now 8 years after I planted the seed,  this mound produced it's own seedpods. It is a lovely plant. After the spring flowers are gone, graceful light-green foliage persists through the summer.

When we moved to our current house, one of the very few plants growing in the backyard was a tree peony.

I love the massive blooms, which occur only in years that the buds do not freeze.

And I've only known them as 'surprise lilies"!

Here in zone 6 in November, we had two light frosts that ended most of the blooms, but I still have something going strong and providing precious food for bees and bugs.

Other wildflowers in bloom are: dandilions, buttercup, asters and black eyed susans.
