First post for 2015

It has been a terrible and long winter here in Tennessee. Finally, it looks like spring is just around the corner.

 For the first post this year, I am combining three wildflowers that are blooming now. Usually, its only us wildflower enthusiast that like these wildflowers. Most home owners consider them the bane of their existence! I have seen yards that look like they have a blanket of pink and purple! Very pretty, but I bet the homeowners don't think so.

 The first to bloom was Harry or Hoary Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta). The original post and description can be seen HERE.

Next two to bloom were; Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) (Click Here for description)

and its close cousin Purple Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureum) (Click Here for description)

Most people see these as the same plant, but they are different members of the same family. 

March and April are two of the biggest months for wildflowers here in TN. I hope to find many more that I have not seen before. I hope you will continue to follow this blog and learn about the beautiful wildflowers here in TN.
