In the duck picture, that flower is sweet allysum. I transplanted a few hundred thousand in my life. Since I was 10, my family grew those as one of our early spring flowers at the greenhouse. The smell of a whole greenhouse full of flats of allysum is awesome. We had lots of pansies too, which smell wonderful, but the allysum were extra fragrant. I have some allysum in my rock garden this year. Always nice to have a white flower to offset the other colors.

PS-the duck is cute too!

Thank you for the kind words, TCP! I did not know what flower it was, but I thought it was so pretty! Now, I will have to put some in my garden!
