Gentiana verna, the spring gentian, is a species of the genus Gentiana and one of its smallest members, normally only growing to a height of a few centimeters.

The short stem supports up to three opposing pairs of elliptical or lanceolate leaves. The conspicuous vivid blue (sometimes purplish-red or rarely white) flowers are 1–2 cm in diameter, with a deeply five-lobed corolla; they are produced in late spring to early summer.

Gentiana verna is one of the most widespread gentians, found on sunny alpine meadows throughout Eurasia from Ireland to Russia. It is common in central and southeastern Europe and up to an altitude of 2,600 meters. It tends to thrive on dry meadows with chalky soil; it is also known to grow in siliceous soils.

Ficaria verna (Ranunculaceae) 102 22

Ficaria verna is a low-growing, hairless perennial flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae native to Europe and Western Asia. It has fleshy dark green, heart-shaped leaves and distinctive flowers with bright yellow, glossy petals. The plant is poisonous if ingested raw and potentially fatal to grazing animals and livestock such as horses, cattle, and sheep. Emerging in late winter with flowers appearing in late February through May, its appearance across the landscape is regarded by many as a harbinger of spring.

The plant is commonly known as lesser celandine or pilewort and it belongs to the buttercup family. They start to flower in late winter and this one is the first I have seen this year.

This fishing boat was stranded on the beach at Bodega Dunes after its captain fell asleep four miles off-shore, expecting the boat to drift further out to sea. Months later, it has been stripped to bare essentials, providing a focal point for artists and photographers. Who knows how long it will remain, as the owner is responsible for its removal and he has no insurance.

Have a great start to the new week! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
