It's time for the Hairy violet .. flowering now in profusion especially on chalk grassland.
Apart from being pretty, they are life support to many flying insects at present & the only larval food plant for the Dark Green & High Brown fritillary butterflies.

Beauty that doesn’t forget its defenses. Fun fact: Despite the delicate flowers, this plant grows fierce. Turkey berry is widely used in traditional cooking and traditional medicine across Southeast Asia. #Veinbug #MacroNature #WildFlora #Solanum

There is so much artistry in nature where some flowers survive and bloom at extreme conditions - careful where you step!🙂

Some springs and summers on California's north coast can yield riots of wildflowers, but usually only after a wet winter and warmer May and June. If a natural spring or ocean fogs lend aid, headlands meadows can look this pretty into early July.

Your #TuesdayTreat are these fresh shots of the wild 'Redwood Lily', a threatened species in northern coastal #California and #Mendocino County. Diminutive and gorgeous, these bloom for about a week or two once a year. I detect no scent but love every one I've found.

It's Clintonia season again here on northern California's redwood coast.
The bloom cycle is brief, about two weeks, then the blue seed pods form. Then it's a long wait til the next late spring.

It was wonderful to step into the forest carpet of bluebells. The light was magical, the scent was so refreshing.
