Violets. Very welcome violets that I let grow as big as possible so they will have many violet babies and take over my lawn.
Even if they have no scent.
I also have a volunteer tomato, (seeded itself from one of last year's tomatoes that rotted in the rain) plus two watermelon plants that Kip planted plus a seedling tomato from a neighbor plus a peach tree about 4 feet high that we planted this spring.
The volunteer tomato and the watermelons are just starting to flower.
My lawn is positively infested with volunteer flowers of various sorts--a little thing that looks like a pansy but is about half a centimeter across, for example. It looks very interesting in early spring.
This time of year the grass hides almost everything. But the clover flowers are quick enough to come back between mowings.
Weeds and clover. Some lovely irises for a little while, and some lilies are coming up. I'm not fond of gardening, though I love a good-looking garden. I don't do well with bending over when my head is hurting, and I get heat-sick far too easily. Some day I want to be able to hire someone to get my yard into reasonable shape and help me get low-maintenance plants and flowers planted. A pony would be nice too :)
Rhubarb, in three pots. Big fat leaves, slim stalks -- I have to leave it alone this year to establish itself, but I'm planning on pie next year!
Whatever grows by accident in my compost heap (that moldy onion wasn't as dead as I thought, a rotten squash producing tons of vines and blossoms but no gourds, two slim brave little mango trees that didn't live past their second years).
