May Apple Blooms

I like the unusual architecture of this plant. The flower is at the intersection of the two leaf stems. Finally a lovely bloom! I'm curious to see the apple.

Tiny wild flower

This flower is about the size of a violet, I have to look it up. Anyone know what it is?

Jill Osgood says "fringed polygala, or gaywings. Lovely early New England wildflower. I see them in the woods at Evergreen cemetery."

a few different violets in my yard

Since the Greeks cultivated violets about 500BC the range of species has grown to between 400-500.

The Greeks and Romans used violets for herbal remedies, making wine (Vinum Violatum) and to sweeten food. The violet, considered a symbol of fertility and love, was associated with the goddess Venus, thus it found its way into love potions. Napoleon wore a violet as a badge of courage. Pliny recommended a garland of violets to be worn around the head to ward off headaches and dizzy spells. It is still used for similar purposes by herbalists today as one of its many healing properties.

 The deep grape color of this hyacinth can not be captured.

fritillaria meleagris is one of my favorite flowers. I would like to meet the (graphic) designer

I'm following this plant. I am not sure what it is. I see a small bulb that might be a flower.

suggest you only display 1 or 2 flowers so each can be appreciated for their own beauty.

Imagine this seed cluster
as a pendant on a cord...wouldn't that be beautiful?
