Growing Now

 In bloom in our yard now are these plants. Some would call them weeds. These are Persian Speedwell, and are so tiny that they are smaller than your little fingernail.


Here are some Wild Violets, of different kinds.



And here are the creepiest of all - Purple Dead Nettle.



A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except learning how to grow in rows.

I have lots of the dead nettle growing in my yard. I also have the speedwell. They are tiny flowers but I think they're rather pretty.

The purple one is so beautiful.
I think so called weeds are some of the prettiest flowers.

Love the definition of a weed. I think I fall into that category too.

Oh, look at those violets! And my favorite color! Are they growing wild in your yard, or did you plant them? They're really pretty. The mulch in the back yard is starting to grow, and have to remove it soon. It seems like it's never ending work in the mountains. ; )
