Grass Widows from Behind

A few days ago, Steve and I went to the Upper Table Rock and met up with a few people from our photography club! The hope was to find some wildflowers, which is this month's photo theme. Although it's a little bit early for a full-out flower explosion, we were rewarded by a bunch of different types!

I have decided that unless I find the flowers on my property or along the ridgeline, I won't count it in my Spring Flower Count, so that's why this one isn't numbered. I don't think these grow on our property but I'll be keeping my eyes open! :D

Grass Widows have a couple of other names, including Satin Flower or Purple-Eyed Grass. It's one of Spring's earliest bloomers and they sprout from bulbs, usually in clusters of several flowers. If you would like to know more about these beautiful flowers, Wiki has a page here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olsynium_douglasii

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
