creeping charlie

These tiny wildflowers are growing in a tree stump at the back of the small parking lot behind my home:



I noticed them while walking back and forth on the driveway, to get some exercise without needing a mask.

Oh, how lovely!

Those look tiny! I'm tempted to draw a fairy with a bouquet of them (but I have too many art projects waiting to be finished).

That is an appealing image.

Yay for noticing beauty, in however small a package!

That looks very much like Creeping Charlie. It's very pretty and spreads fast. It has a distinctive smell if the leaves are crushed.

It is. And in bloom here in the North as well, just at the moment.

I entirely didn't read the title of the post before I typed that comment. Silly of me.

No problem: you enjoyed the photo, is the main thing.

Spring color! Sometimes I like the odor, others it seems overwhelming.

There are a few small, purple-flowering plants that people sometimes confuse. This article is great for telling them apart: http://identifythatplant.com/three-easily-mixed-up-early-spring-plants/

How did you know that I wanted that website, when I had no idea an hour ago?

Thank you.
