Signs of Spring
I am sorry to say that my Friends Day Wednesday post isn't ready. Instead, I decided to share a few signs of spring up my way.
Wild berries in bloom.
Roadside posies (do you know what they are called?). UPDATE: kateR correctly identified it as Purple Dead Nettle. It is a member of the mint family. When I first saw it as a young green plant I thought it was mint. It is listed as a tenacious weed, but is supposed to be edible and has herbal properties.
Mossy glens. What's spring like out your way so far? - Margy

Not like yours, lol! But it is now at the very beginning of Spring here; we still do not have any of the wildflowers blooming or the leaves out. But I notice Moss has bounced out with its unearthly green; I love it! I am surprised, actually, that there is Moss here, it being so dry...
I don't believe I've ever seen the pink posy at the top. I'd be interested in knowing what it is.
The greens are so bright!!!! Great photos. Not so bright greens, but visit me here !
The pinky/purple flowering plant is Lamium purpureum - Purple Deadnettle. Sadly, not a native plant.
p.s. I loved your little video of the fog drifting away - the opening bit is all silver and grey in a magical way.
