  1. The first spring flowers in the front yard #meadow ( #BeeLawn ) are all annuals.

    The weed: hairy bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta) (no photo)

    A another weed: spring whitlow-grass (Draba verna) -- kind of attractive.

    A native annual: Small flowered blue-eyed mary (Collinsia parviflora) -- see my profile's header, thumb meets flower.

  2. Last fall's seeding of the front yard #meadow ( #BeeLawn ) has its first blooms: Small Flowered Blue-eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora).

    It is a native winter annual with tiny blue flowers. I sowed it last October, and noticed its first blooms the first week of April, but given the lingering winter this year, I'd expect it earlier most years.
