Flowers from Cat

Cat has a tumblr going, and I freely pilfered from it, as I want some Spring pictures--outside, except for grass, rabbits and mud, we don't have much in the way of flowers yet, or even sprouts.Here's what we have:

Some little prairie flower; a butterfly:

and a super-hardy mullein...

which looks a little mashed right now but will pop back up once it gets warm. Mulleins grow to 5 feet if they have sun, and old herbal that I have calls them "A stately herb" and in the voodoo/voudun tradition they are "the orisha of the winds" because of the wind scattering the seeds. Those soft leathery leaves are supposed to contain an antifungal and antiwart compound, but I just like how they look--and the fact that this plant went through temperatures of -10 f, and having 4 feet of snow piled on it,(not to mention being walked on) and it just looks a little used. :D
