Just a small part of the yard. It’s probably 40 feet long by six feet wide, completely packed with tulips. ---

My kitchen window. The jar of rose blossoms are the remnants of a bouquet of roses Mr. Roomie bought for Miss Roomie, just cuz yanno? Their story has a tiny bit of flamboyant romance to it. ---

I swear I had none amount of flowers in my yard two weeks ago except for some dying tulips and daffodils. Now look! There are also irises. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/UewJjtO.jpeg "Imgur: The magic of the Internet") ](https://imgur.com/UewJjtO) ---

That looks like rose rootstock to me. They are pretty, and very, very hardy. ---

Edited because the SDMB delivered before I even asked! And hell yeah, they are hardy. It lived through first my hatred and then my neglect. And now I look forward to them producing many, many flowers all summer long. ---

Hi everyone, last call for photos… this month’s competition closes at 9pm my time (20 mins from now). I’ve got an obscenely early start tomorrow morning, so I won’t have time to sort a poll out tonight - I’ll set it up over the weekend. Thanks as always! ---

Shit, I missed it! Not that I was going to win. ---

It’s not about the winning it’s about I wanna see! And now I’ll never know what you would have posted. ---

The poll is up over on the [discussion thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/monthly-photo-competition-6-may-2023-flowers/983352/26). I have to say, it’s another month of fantastic photos. It’s going to be hard to pick just three - I think I’ll mull it over for a bit. Great work everyone! ---

My belated post: Flowering dyckia in my yard. I had a picture of the whole plant I liked better, but this one is more flower-centric. [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52922032244_ee4c67967b_b.jpg "Flowering dyckia 2") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/45215582@N06/52922032244/) ---

If you look up at the first post, there is a list of links to the contest threads, and those links all have the name of the month’s theme. Thank you, @TwoCarrotSnowman! I am trying to win the contest so I can pick a non-subject theme.
