First wildflower

I noticed, now that I'm weed-aware, that the first wildflower to poke up in Central Ohio is coltsfoot (Mar 21) ; beating forsythia by a long time.



It's just that some neighbor always had forsythia, so you noticed it.


I've been watching the wildflowers too. got pix of dutchman's britches, spring beauty, bloodroot. lots of violets out there, yellow, white and violet! Ah, I love spring in the mountains!

Yellow mustard flowers start our seasonal pageant of changing colors.
