Eliza Waters 
Lovely shade of lemon yellow!
Thank you, Deb. One of my favorite ephemerals. 💜
Not sure I’ve ever seen this flower before. What a perfect name!
Thank you, Pepper. A northeast native, such a sweet thing. 🙂
I guess that explains why I haven’t seen on around here. 😉
Lovely Eliza. And more warmth to enhance it beautifully 🤗❤️🙏
Thank you, Mark. 🙂
Great shot Eliza
Merci, Sheree!
What a great name for a lovely flower!
Thank you, Dale. I find it a delight every April.
Ooh! It’s lovely! Is it in your garden or does it grow in the wild?
Thanks, Cathy. It is a wildflower that I planted at the edge of the woods beneath a maple, as it seems to like neutral soil. The patch is small and stubbornly refuses to increase!
Well hello there! What a treat ❣️
Thank you, Val. An annual spring delight!
A spring flower from my childhood
So fleeting a bloom, my patch doesn’t seem to grow larger, alas.
Very pretty! I keep wanting to call them britches. 🙂
Thanks, Barbara. That is a common variant, probably Americanized from the English.
I never hear this plant’s name without thinking of the sky. I grew up among people who believed that if there was a small patch of blue in a cloudy sky — the so-called “Dutchman’s britches” — fair weather was on the way.
I’ve never heard that bit of folklore, but I love it!
so pretty!
Thank you, Ellen. It’s a sweet little wildflower.
Such a pretty flower & feathery leaves. Nice capture.
Thank you, Alice!
Nice flower. My bulbs are slowly coming out of the ground but I only had a few crocus blooms so far…(Suzanne)
Thank you, Suzanne. It is hard waiting for spring to come!
pretty
Thank you, Dawn!
A gorgeous capture Eliza! 💛✨️ xxx
Thank you, Xenia! 💕
What a pretty little plant!
Thank you, Monika. I have a very small patch that doesn’t seem to get much bigger, alas. 🙂
Makes me wonder what Dutch pants really look like?! sweet.
They were wide pantaloons like these: https://imgs.search.brave.com/S2IO5Oj1nk5ojucch8GftIonFEy2M0EQ5fLuheotol8/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLmV0/c3lzdGF0aWMuY29t/LzU5ODA2MTcvci9p/bC9jNzdhYTQvNDI4/NTkyNDgwOS9pbF82/MDB4NjAwLjQyODU5/MjQ4MDlfaTd6OS5q/cGc
LOL, thanks, Eliza.
What a buttery color. Nice!
Thank you, Sandy!
They look like sleepy little dragon heads ready to wake up.
🙂 Fantastic!
Nice! Things are coming along 😊
Thanks, Belinda. Two days of summery weather has things jumping ahead, quite astonishing!
Beautiful. I haven’t see any of these or squirrel corn yet, but bluebells are budding and I found bloodroot this week.
Thanks, Tom. My bloodroot has been blooming this week as well. This warm weather is really pushing things along!
They are so cute! I love yellow in the garden 🙂
Thanks! Such charming little things, I love them. 🙂
I can see why!
Aptly named and delightful.
Thank you, Alys!
these are one of my favorite flowers. thank you for sharing their beauty!
Thank you, happy to share!
Such a sweet photo, Eliza! That yellow is soft and just lovely for spring.
Thank you, Tina!
Cute little thing! That little streak of summer temps this week really seems to have pushed things along. Of course now that I am on my spring break, we are back to normal.
Thanks, K. 60s still isn’t too bad though! Enjoy your break. 🙂
Such a pretty yellow.
Thank you, Eunice!
Lovely Thanks for sharing with us ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you, Deepa!
