Blue grass flowers!
Grass flowers are so lovely! I am always startled by their tidy perfection and their sky-blueness!
Beyond cherry blossoms!
There is more to admire than cherry blossoms this time of year! Check out the flowering weeds! At the edge of a tiny park in Leonardtown, MD I was startled to discover Veronica (Speedwell) in full bloom, carpeting a large area with the most darling tiny flowers in endless shades of sky blue. A perfect bouquet for a fairy.
Veronica is the largest genus in the flowering plant family Plantaginaceae, with about 500 species; it was formerly classified in the family Scrophulariaceae. Common names include speedwell, bird’s eye, and gypsyweed. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Veronica
More than a little crazy!
Crazy daffodils plus crazy maple seeds make a crazy arrangement! A new way to mix and match and find your happy place! Everybody gets so excited about cherry blossoms. Maples are blooming at the same time!
Flower making a face in the rain!
First violet of my spring takes a bow, making a face in the rain. Does it look like an alien to you? Violets are hosts for local butterflies! They make fun people food too! But instead of eating them, I am watching all my violets for the first butterfly!
Sobbing Cherry!
Hardly looks like it’s weeping! This cherry is obviously sobbing!
Too beautiful even for words like…
Too beautiful even for words like Chocolate and Vanilla and Raspberry!
Japanese apricots bloom in February!
Where else would a bee be but at Tudor Place, DC where spring comes early in February? I had no idea! My mouth fell open at the sight! It was definitely a banner year for this early bloomer. The fortunate tree and the gleeful bees took advantage of a shocking break from winter as temperatures hit the 80s. We stood there amazed, in a late February snowfall of pink petals.
The beautiful source of your sneeze!
These small but powerful maple blossoms want to welcome you to allergy season! Yes, it’s still only February!
It’s not raining violets yet but…
