March 22, 2012 -- voilets

Wild violets are one of my favorite flowers, so I had to put some in a vase. I actually pulled them up by the root--weeding and gathering cut flowers at the same time, how efficient is that?!

And here's yesterday's arrangement with tiny tulips after the sun hit it this morning--the blooms opened wide. Tulips change so much after you cut them (bending toward light, opening and closing) that they should be considered performance art. And BTW, the "greens" with these tulips are the seed structures of hairy bittercress, not the leaves as I said yesterday.
