Two little baby #ajuga starting to pop up — and several more on the way. These will get to be 6-8 inches high and are truly a glorious purple. After they bloom, they’re a great ground cover. #PurpleFlowers . . . . #delightfulNature #dof_brilliance #fotofanatics_macro_ #global_nature_macro #gottalove_a #igworldclub_macro #jj_indetail #macro_brilliance #macroclique #macroworld_tr #Nature_brilliance #naturehippys #naturelover_gr #photoarena_nature #phototag_macro #show_us_macro #_flowersworld_ #smallworld_uc #awesome_florals #loves_flowers_ #ig_discover_petals via Instagram instagr.am/p/CbAU_EBOxW8/

Teeny tiny wildflower called Vase vine, in the clematis family. Common in the western NC mountains.
