This beautiful Easter brought the sun and my own little treasure hunt. The pictures above show the fun things found in my yard. (A number of slugs were found, but I wouldn't count those as treasures. I didn't even know Idaho had slugs until a few months ago!)
Kyle's only answer when questioned about the mystery flowers was, "We've always had flowers but other than that, I don't know." Proof of this was when I mentioned the tulips and he asked if those were the red ones.
Thanks to Grandmom, I discovered that the middle picture is Narcissus poeticus L. The purple clumps are all over the place, including in among the grass. The redish purple feathery thing is also in the grass on the north side of our lawn right above the patio. It's fascinatingly odd and I didn't have the heart to trim it down with the mower. Anyone have any idea what the heck it is?

I believe the purple ones are grape hyacinths -- they're prolific around the north-end too.
