Spring Green


New plant life is popping up everywhere with spring just around the corner. Do you recognize this plant?


I'm not sure what it is either.....but, it is small, growing in the cracks of grout around a 12" x 12" Saltillo Tile.


All the plants I'm showing you today are "volunteers of nature". This yellow flower is so tiny, I had to get down on my knees to photograph. The flower is about 1/2" in diameter.


Not yet blooming, this is a violet that blooms once in early spring.












I found clover growing in a potted plant, hiding under the foliage.


At first glance, you might miss the yellow flower emerging from Fall's brown leaves.


If you don't recognize this plant, take a good look at the foliage. It is the dreaded Poison Ivy. Where I live in Texas, I must always be vigil about killing this plant.



This last little flower, about 1/2 inch in diameter, I found growing in a crack of the walkway. If you click on the photos it will bring them up in a larger format.

Remember, many of life's treasures come in small packages.....
