Thinking Small – Little Delights

Yes, the lawn here at the Boggy Thicket could use mowing.

Before I do, I wanted to show you some of our wild flowers.  There are lots of them to see if you look closely and think small.

Violets are popping up everywhere, and there are lots of tall flower spikes like this:

with colors ranging from dark purplish blue to almost white.

 

 Tiny yellow flowers show up singly or in bunches

 

There are patches of these clover-like plants blooming everywhere

Some blooms are out in the open, but some are a bit shy

Thistles invite you to make a wish

And at the edge of the woods, Blackberry vines promise sweetness to come

I don’t think I’ll be picking that last one.  All those three lobed leaves surrounding the berry vine are poison ivy.
