Johnny Jump Up

A kiss of warm air, a smile from the sun,
where just yesterday a snowy blanket lay,
a Viola appeared
...
and my heart sang of Spring.

Delightful poem welcoming spring and a lovely photo. I love Johnny Jump Ups. They re-seed so happily and I am always glad to see them, even if it is just in your photo. Spring is still a few weeks away here, but we are seeing a few little signs.

The CDP community is filled with these tender little spring bouquets. Isn't it wonderful to see the snow recede? Do you think we'll still get a late snow storm?

this is wonderful and oh so beautiful. I have never seen a flower like this one. is it a violet? and is it growing outside? i think I see leaves on the ground.

I love johnny jump ups! We are not quite into that yet...just the crocus here for us. But they do look pretty and cheery and hopeful don't you think.

My mother had johnny jump ups in her garden. I just have the wild violets here, which are similar, but it's not quite their time yet!

I wish that were true here. We got more snow last night and very cold temperatures. I am snot sure if there will be a spring this year.

I had never heard of a Johnny Jump Up, Sunny, so I looked it up. It looks to me like a pansy---and the info I read said that it is a 'Wild Pansy".... Interesting, huh???? Cute little flower.
Hugs,
Betsy

I love spring flowers. I have them but they are now covered with snow. Hopefully, not for long.

Great picture.
