First Flower of the year

Viola  or (Jonney Jump up) 

I was outside today and I found the first flower bud of the season here in Clayton,WI, Normally it is the Crocus that flowers first, but not this year, I'm surprised it was brave enough! Last year they did not flower until May, but This particular plant was growing in the fall and stayed green all winter under leaves and snow, and now thats it's warm it decided to bloom.

lol that's one gutsy flower to bloom this far North in March. I really hope we don't get hit by another snowstorm the rest of this month or in April, but I think that's wishful thinking-lol..

The little bugger will pull through! A Spring snowstorm will not bring it down! :)
