It happened when it was not expected. With my hands full of fallen branches, I was headed toward the brush pile when I saw them. Enthralled, I watched them as they tried to hide in the afternoon shadows. Assured they would be there in the morning, I returned after breakfast the next day and captured this image.
Content to bask in the sun in their home on the lawn.
Last year, Sharkey told us what these are called. I failed to make a note. :no: These are beautiful spring flowers. Fortunately, there are more this year than there were last year. When mowing, I’ll skip this part of the grass while they are in bloom.
I wanted to get better acquainted and so moved closer. They posed nicely for their close-up.
These delicate beauties are about thumb-nail size.
Spring snows are gone. Warmer temperatures are taking control. Life is good.
Hi, Ed, I like your comment.
And I like these little flowers.
Little is beautiful.
Hi, I like your comment.
And I like these little flowers.
Little is beautiful.
Those little flowers do add to the joy of spring. How beautiful is our earth.
Just guessing as I am very amateurish…not to mention the name I thought of is very oxymoronic. Could be this is Glory in the Snow without the snow. I think Star of Bethlehem is in the same family but white, and later.
Thanks, Ed. I believe that is the correct name. Look at the comments again. Rainfield from Penang, Malaysia has left a comment for you.
Very pretty. I always loved all of the wildflowers in Colorado during springtime. Here the only offering seems to be the little yellow dandelion.
Consider the beauty of the dandelion. I think they are gorgeous. And you can eat the blossoms. Roll them in batter and fry them. There are probably better ways. The spring leaves are great in salads or as greens with a bit of balsamic vinegar.
If you consider them a nuisance, I understand. They certainly can be. It’s nice living here where I won’t come under extreme censure for allowing them to grow freely in my yard.
Here’s a tid bit from my college studies…which I shall never forget because of the glory God thought to create. EACH PETAL is a flower in itself. Pull one off and you will see all the “flower parts” are there. A glorious bouquet of hundreds of yellow flowers on a single stem.
Thanks, Ed. I’d been looking for this in the wrong place.
I give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all the wonderful blessings of springtime !!
Absolutely.
