Beautiful Wildflowers for April


This beautiful wildflower looks like columbine to me. Mother Nature certainly picked a lovely spot to plant the seeds, didn't she. No floral arranger could match this arrangement. Hello April. Today is Webster's 11th birthday. He has already had several dog biscuits with peanut butter spread on them for his special day. We had rain overnight and will have more today so the April showers are right on schedule. See you later. via
Correction....these flowers are Oxalis acetosella, submitted by a reader (Cathy in Idaho). Thanks, Cathy.

Happy Birthday to Webster! May he live a long and happy life. My kitty, Chaucer, turns 19 tomorrow. We refer to him as the Old Man, but by golly, he's still hanging in there--even with all his infirmaties.

Delightful, delicate plant though not columbine, possibly Sharp-Lobed Hepatica? Not positive.

I think your lovely flowers may be anemones.

Happy Birthday to Webster! May he have many, man more.

Throwing my hat in the ring with yet another guess for the name of your flowers. Could they be oxalis? Whatever it is, it's absolutely gorgeous.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Webster. You're a luv. I'll bet you got to lick the oatmeal pot this morning too.

I think it is a shamrock ~ oxalis acetosella
Happy Birthday to Webster! Did you have a party!?!?
And thanks so very much for posting the pictures of your lovely Mother, so special and so much harder since she lived right there! I have peace about my Mother also but will always miss her! Joy to you from the hills of Idaho, Cathy
