More flowers

A second type of flower has begun to bloom in the "cottage" garden.  I believe this one is "bachelor's buttons."

The bok choy I planted this spring has also started to flower.

So has the nearby cilantro.  This was a "slow-bolt" variety, but our unseasonable warmth is probably the reason it bolted before it was even big enough to harvest the leaves.

The dill is also beginning to bloom.

This is some of the romaine that over-wintered.  Last time, they were closed because it was cloudy.  This is what they look like when they're open.

Look how similar the thistle flowers are to the romaine.  I also noticed tonight that the romaine flowers turn into little puff-balls (similar to dandelions) after flowering, which I have noticed also happens to this type of thistle.

Here is the most exciting new flower this week: zucchini!
