My grandson, Ben, is now 13 months old. He was born on March 17, 2016- a St. Patrick's Day baby. I was looking through some pictures and I found the one below. It was taken on March 18th last year. We live on a very wooded 5 acres in the country. When we came home that day from seeing Benjamin at the hospital, there were literally, hundreds of these plants with purple flowers that had popped up all around the side yard. They were not there the day before.
At first, I thought they must have been from seeds of previous flowers I had planted, but we realized they were not similar to any we had in the yard.
The "whimsical" part is that purple was my mother's favorite color. (She passed away in November 2013) Was this her way of celebrating Benjamin's birth? I like to think so.
The interesting thing is that these flowers showed back up this year on Ben's birthday and stayed around for a couple of weeks. Hmmm...it makes me wonder.
