Default First wildflower

I noticed, now that I'm weed-aware, that the first wildflower to poke
up in Central Ohio is coltsfoot (Mar 21) ; beating forsythia by a long
time.

It's just that some neighbor always had forsythia, so you noticed it.

I've been watching the wildflowers too. got pix of dutchman's
britches, spring beauty, bloodroot. lots of violets out there,
yellow, white and violet! Ah, I love spring in the mountains!

We have forsythia here and the lilacs are the first to sprout green leaves.

In my fire pit, there are pumpkin sprouts from last year's discarded Jack-
O-Lanterns coming up!

Yellow mustard flowers start our seasonal pageant of changing colors.
