It's spring in Shenanigan Valley. Sunshine, warmth and wild grasses greening really does lift the spirit.
Then the spring beauty, which Mom and I called the May flower. I don't know why - it normally blooms in April.
I didn't know until recently that this lily is called the yellow fawn lily - we always called it the wild Easter lily. It bloomed around Easter.
And the violets are blooming in the grass down at the house where I grew up. Oh, they weren't always there. I brought some to Mom in the early '80s from a meadow in Maryland near where I was stationed at Ft. Meade. Then they were white with violet spots, but through the years they've changed. Why? Soil composition? I just don't know. I'll just enjoy them.
Are these all blooming now? I'm surprised that your spring is earlier than mine. The purple grass widow is charming and new to me, as is the very pretty fawn lily. Interesting about the violets!
