full moon

 to the west
to the east
in my back yard
(on my mind
the next thing brewing)
and this violet
was blooming today
in my garden
11/9

  2. The moon is enchanting tonight... but the flower, as beautiful as it is, gives me the willies that its blooming now. I had a dandelion blooming last week... !

  3. ronnie, these things sustain me
    and valerianna, it is weird, but these little guys will bloom in snow sometimes, if the ground is warm enough. i saw hawkweed today, too

  5. Look at that beautiful, perfect flower with the just right complementary color in the middle to help the shades of violet glow!

  6. henrietta, this little violet has others in the same bed, johnnys and viloas and sometimes they pop up and see the sun in november!
    diana, i love complements. and this violet will become something new very soon.

  12. you can easily see which one is male and which female of the top 2 pics. i would call your flower a viola

  13. yes, kaite, and it is a viola. but in researching the violet family i found there are many sizes among each subgroup. so i've taken to calling them violetes instead of violas because some folks think i mean the instrument viola.

  14. To me, wild violets have the most intoxicating scent on this glorious earth! But, that is simply my personal preference. Lovely photo, Velma. Thanks for sharing.
