And beautiful flower or annoying weed? I guess it all depends on your perspective. If you are a lawn maniac or avid gardener, these little blooms are the enemy.

"Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land."

Spring has sprung. Just in time for Mother's Day.
I have one lonely red tulip but lots of lush green hosta in the garden and little blue and white violets peeping up even in the grass.
