Our garden's first flower is a lowly violet. They grow outside the stone border around the little garden out front. They are closer to weeds and not flowers that one would actually plant and nourish, but they do add a bit of colour.
Happy Mothers Day to whomsoever the wish applies.

I count violets as wild flowers and so long as they don't take over a flower bed I keep them. Here they are throughout the lawn and look lovely, purple, white and a mix of the two colors.
Such a pretty bloom! Wild or not.
I count all flowers as flowers, however the books classify them. Violets are always so welcome after winter.
I love violets!

P.S. I read your spicey comment out loud. Thank you for the giggle, we both laughed.
I also love spring violets...which are edible too!
That's one of my favorite colors of flower!
My mother loved the early violets, sort of weeds that they are, that came out in her garden. Two transplants later, the offspring of those violets are scenting my lawn this afternoon. And my mother is in my heart. I hope you are cherishing the mother of your beautiful daughters today.
Violets always seem to be flowering for Mother's Day.
Very photogenic.
Violets are not weeds; they are lovely ground cover that holds soil in place. And they were my mother's favorite.
So soft and settling
Coffee is on and stay safe
Gosh, I'm learning stuff. I didn't know violets grew outside. I'd heard stories of people growing them inside and being so fragile. If it's a weed, it's certainly prettier than the yellow flowers called dandelions. Linda in Kansas
The lowly violet is a tough and powerful little beauty!
