While there are always problems and difficulties in the world, there is always much joy both to experience and to share. Some of that joy comes in the color, form, smell and texture of flowers. One day ago, I saw little evidence of the wild flowers. This morning, lo and behold, the 72 degree weather had made them pop. Here's the visual evidence.
 |
| Early this morning the blood root looked like this. |
 |
| By lunchtime, they were in full bloom. |
 |
| The mayapples look like soldiers right now, but by tomorrow, they will have placed umbrella-like leaves over their heads. |
 |
| Another patch of blood root. The flower spreads and now that I walk around, I can see many of the places where the flower has seeded itself. |
 |
| This beautiful clump by our back door decided to go from bud to flower overnight. What a wonderful surprise this morning when I walked outside. |
 |
| And everyone likes the "All-American flower," the dandelion. They come up like clockwork with all of the rest of the spring beauties. |
