Thanks! :-)<br /><br />MMD, I've known Lily of the Valley was not native, however in the DNR site that I linked to each of the flowers, LoV was in the listing, (Don't tell me why) which is why I included it. craZy!<br /><br />Grace, it makes Spring much more exciting!<br /><br />Monica, I'd expect to see all these in Michigan. Probably with little fairies tending them outside their doors! ;-)<br /><br />Hi Catherine! Me, too! :-)<br /><br />VIDoug, did you follow the link? You might see other common names such as dog toothed violet, etc. They are Very distinctive!

Mine are just a few years old, so they're just starting to get comfortable. I think I need some Spring Beauties for my lawn. I drove past a home with a lawn full of them yesterday. It looked so pretty.
