It is Spring for sure! by daisymiller

It is Spring for sure!

Whenever I see this ground cover plant bloom, I think, "It is Spring for sure!" Of course, Winter can always make a come back, but it is nice to think that Spring is here and it is here to stay.

This photo also checks off a macro bucket list item. Each Spring, I have tried to get a good shot of this tiny blossom and each Spring I have failed. This may not be the best photo ever of this blossom, but it is the best I have gotten. The blossoms of this ground cover plant are about two pinpoints across. I don't know what the name of this plant is. Do you know its name?
Lovely soft flower with great detail on those leaves. Looks like a violet???

Are they the tiny bluets? We have a field full of them right now. And they sure are hard to get a decent shot of because they are so tiny!

You not only got a lovely shot of the flower, but you captured a visitor too! I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure if you google tiny blue flower you'd get some images to compare it to. Nice shot!

It's not the bluet - and I can't get the link to work to mine from Feb. 24th alternate album - I think we have a match

@deu49097 Thanks. I think the tiny flower is lovely too. It is not a violet or at least, it is not like the violet I know. I tired the wildflower guide and the weed guide from my state and I cannot find it.

@milaniet Milanie, thanks. Our plants look quite similar. I live in a growing zone just that far north of yours to make me think that our plants are the same. I still cannot find its name. I have looked in my state's wildflower guide and in my state's weed guide. Perhaps I will have to wait until I see a master gardener at one of the local plant sales.

@olivetreeann Thanks. I keep looking for this plant and I have not found it yet.

Great micro capture of this beautiful ``weed``. If I want to know a name of flowers/weeds/or bushes I often ask the (public) workers in public gardens
They mostly knows .

@pyrrhula Thanks for your comments. I plan to get this plant identified. There are two greenhouses I can take this to for identification.

I like how you got the insect as well as the flower.
