Poem for today:
Dear March -- Come in --
How glad I am --
I hoped for you before --
Put down your Hat --
You must have walked --
How out of Breath you are --
Dear March, Come right up the stairs with me --
I have so much to tell --
I got your Letter, and the Birds --
The Maples never knew that you were coming -- till I called
I declare -- how Red their Faces grew --
But March, forgive me -- and
All those Hills you left for me to Hue --
There was no Purple suitable --
You took it all with you --
Who knocks? That April.
Lock the Door --
I will not be pursued --
He stayed away a Year to call
When I am occupied --
But trifles look so trivial
As soon as you have come
That Blame is just as dear as Praise
And Praise as mere as Blame --
(Emily Dickinson)

Beautiful Spring Flowers are Everywhere
Fleabane Duo
Spring is most definitely here in Florida. The official beginning of spring isn’t for almost a week, but for the past couple of weeks our spring flowers have been popping up everywhere. There are beautiful patches of Drummond’s phlox lining our roadways now. They’ll get thicker before they begin to fade away, but already, you can’t miss them. There are also plenty of lyreleaf sage…

Welcome to Spring!
The woods are full of round 2 of wildflowers.....violets(blue and yellow), and this little striped flower. Some of the striped flowers are vivid and others are kinda pale, but they are all so cool....I think they are called Claytonia Virginica.
Nature is cool

What's poppin' in late February: Part 4 of ~7
Erythronium umbilicatum - Trout Lily
Antennaria plantaginifolia/parlinii - Pussytoes, Woman's Tobacco
Which species? I don't know, as both are plausible here and they're nearly identical. Leaning towards Parlin's bc of the look of those basal leaves, but some sources say they're one species anyway, so I'm close enough.
And once you get to looking at the ground, closely, to see all the lovely little flowers there, you also notice the things that are going to be lovely little flowers. The last photo is the basal leaves of Rattlesnake Hawkweed - Hieracium venosum. It'll bloom later.
Hawkweeds are a large group of asters that are easy to mistake for dandelions if you're not paying attention, as the flowers can look really similar. The leaves are different, though, and if you're not sure, check the stem: dandelions have a soft, hollow stem, while hawkweeds' stems are solid.

Roundleaf Bluet is a Beautiful, but Often Overlooked Flower
Roundleaf Bluet is a Beautiful, but Often Overlooked Flower discusses these early springtime beauties, where they grow, and when they flower. It shows readers photos of these wildflowers in full bloom.
Roundleaf Bluet Flowers
Spring is definitely here in north central Florida. Flowers are popping up everywhere, including the colorful Drummond’s phlox that our roadways are famous for. The phlox comes in a huge variety of colors, most of which are bright and highly noticeable, but they are hardly the only flowers beside our roads. One of the most overlooked of those are the roundleaf bluets…
