More signs of Spring
Our earliest spring violet. Marsh Violet (Viola palustris). Though it looks white, it is usually described as being purple to blue. These guys have just a touch of purple.
The native Red-flowering currant (Ribes sanguineum) is a welcome sight in the early spring. Nothing brightens up a day better than these pretty red blooms.
Another early spring bloomer is Winter Hazel. Bare stems with bright yellow flowers and red stamens make a striking statement in the garden.

Beautiful pics! It must truly be spring in your area. Here in Michigan we have just seen the snow melt. I know that spring is on its way because we have now entered the ’season of mud.’

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

how beautiful. I really love the currant and the winter hazel.
Isn’t amazing how much variation in flower color their can be in a species. White violets seem like such a rarity.
