Periwinkle

Patch of Periwinkle

 

Frocked in lavender finery

and dainty necklace of white,

March winds rustle your many emerald petticoats

as you sit in half shadow

beneath an unadorned maple tree,

dispassionately waiting

for the rest of Spring’s recalcitrant guests to arrive.

Groundhog

Spring color

[I am terrible at identifying flowers, but I believe this is a periwinkle.  I love the contrast of the purple flowers and the green leaves.  This grows at the base of one of my maple trees.]
