I’ve been keeping an eye out for this flower. It’s the first roadside flower of spring in Vermont - and grows in the gravel and dirt of roadsides under pretty harsh conditions.
It’s always cheering to see - and this year I saw the first examples in our own border ditch this past Saturday, April 11, 2026.
What a hardy little plant!
