The First Wildflowers at Fauquier BC
The first wildflowers that are neither weeds nor garden varieties have slowly spread over our backyard in the last couple of years. They are the sweet violets known for their delicate and pleasant scent. Last week, I saw just a few appearing near our spruce and cedar. trees. Now they are popping up everywhere in large numbers creating tiny carpets. You need keen eyes to discover them, as their stems reach only a couple of centimetres above the ground. I photographed them lying on my belly. Enjoy.

Despite central Texas’s broad carpets of colorful wildflowers, you outdid us with your violets. I found only a couple of violet flowers behind our house, and they’re not a fragrant species like yours.

Violets are so pretty, and yours have a fragrance, wonderful! Our violets in the woods don’t, and they come our in May only. Right now we have anemona, the white ones.

Nice pictures, Peter! A catchy tune, too. How about calling it “Living in British Columbia?”

How well I remember gathering violets for my mother, and putting them into the May baskets we exchanged. I rarely see violets now, but your lovely piece is compensation!
