When I was about 12 years old I came across the Robert Browning poem: 'Such a starved bank of moss till that May morn. Blue ran the flash across - violets were born!'.
Violets have always been a big favorite of mine and every year when the first violet blooms, I recite that poem to myself. They usually start blooming in late March or April, but I feel the same delight that Browning did when he wrote that poem.
Happy Spring!
