    I had thought this was Honesty/moneyplant but it never formed the papery "coins"

    I can't wait for the snow to go away, and the flowers come back!

    Oh I love the clor varieties! These are so refreshing after such a dull (no snow =( so sad!) and cold winter :) Thank you for sharing!

    Those look like the same wildflowers that grow here Wrennie. Picture #2 I know as "Sweet Rocket", #3 as creeping buttercup, #4 as forget me not and the last one as Poor Mans Pepper .
    I'll have to check and see if I have any wildflower photos...

    Lovely wildflowers! We won't see any for yet another while, but I'll make sure I photograph them when they arrive.

    Violets are my favorite...in fact the wood violet is our state flower here in Wisconsin. They grow wild around us and grow in masses on the outskirts of the woods. Great pictures, and thanks for the hint of spring!!!

    Nice wildflowers, Wrennie. What a good idea for a thread.
    There isn't much going on in my garden yet, but it's fun to see yours.
    Thanks.

    Wow, did I need that!!! I'm looking forward to getting some fresh wildflower shots this spring.
    Round here that buttercup is a "swamp buttercup" though they don't always grow near a swamp (go figure) and your forget-me-not is beautiful. I have to battle powdery mildew with mine every year, though I have high hopes for the dormant spray I spread around earlier.
    Thanks so much for posting these!!!

    Me either. I failed to mention that these are last years pictures. There is about 9 inches of fresh snow out there right now.

    How pretty. I love the forget me not especially. We're starting to get a few weeds blooming here. They want to get a jumpstart on everything else. :)
