Saremo felici o saremo tristi, che importa?
Saremo l'uno accanto all’altra.
E questo deve essere, questo è l’essenziale.
Will we be happy or sad, who cares?
We will be next to each other.
And this must be, this is the essential.
(Gabriele D’Annunzio)

“Flowers… are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities in the world.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Viola Sororia (common blue violet) is a perennial plant native to eastern and central North America. They're one of the first
flowers of Spring. I'm not sure if this flower is considered a wildflower or a weed. Tiny but so beautiful! Love flowers, wildflowers, and weeds especially in my macro photography.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated! ❣

▶ "Rudbeckia hirta —commonly called black-eyed Susan— is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to eastern and central North America.
Rudbeckia hirta is an upright annual growing 12 to 39 inches tall (30–100 cm) by 12 to 18 inches wide (30–45 cm). The plant produces daisy-like, composite flower heads, in late summer and early autumn [although appearing here in late spring], up to 4 inches in diameter (10 cm) with yellow ray florets circling a conspicuous brown or black, dome-shaped cone of many small disc florets.
The specific epithet 'hirta' is Latin for 'hairy,' referring to trichomes occurring on the leaves and stems. [Trichomes are epidermal outgrowths. Hair is one common type.]"

This is my favourite time of the year in the woods with the coming of the spring flowers. These beautiful anemones were just opening in the sunshine last Monday and beginning to carpet the woodland floor. But now we are in lockdown I am grieving that I will not be able to visit again and will also be missing the bluebells that are on their way to appearing, so too the wild apple and cherry blossom. But the primroses have been out a while so I have been able to enjoy them.
At least I have the photos to look back on and we are doing our little bit to help to keep everyone safe during this awful time, which is more important.
L'amore è il solo fiore che possa fiorire senza l’aiuto delle stagioni.
Love is the only flower that can bloom without the help of the seasons.
(Khalil Gibran)
Stylidium are known as "trigger plants" because of the unique, irritable flower column which is triggered by insect visitors. The trigger remains cocked until an insect probes the flower and then springs upwards and deposits pollen on the head or back of the insect which then transfers the pollen to another flower.
Looking Close... on Friday: Spring Flora
It's coming into Autumn here but these Trigger Flowers are trying to make the most of the weather. They usually flower in Spring and Summer but it was so dry and hot that they seem to have put flowering off till later. We've had plenty of rain now so the flowering season has extended.

▶ "Monarda didyma —commonly known as crimson beebalm or scarlet beebalm— is an aromatic herb in the sage family Lamiaceae, native to eastern North America, south to northern Georgia. The flowers' odor is considered similar to that of the bergamot orange, which is used to flavor Earl Grey tea. The leaves are minty fragrant when crushed. The plant is a natural source of the antiseptic thymol, the primary active ingredient in modern commercial mouthwash formulas.
M. didyma grows 2 to 4 feet in height (0.6 to 1.2 m). The flowers are tubular and bright red, 1.2 to 1.6 inches long (3–4 cm), borne on showy heads of about 30 together, with reddish bracts. It grows in dense clusters along stream banks, moist thickets, and ditches, blooming for about 8 weeks from early/mid to late summer. The plant attracts hummingbirds and is a larval host to moths and butterflies."
