Johnny Jump-ups or Heartsease after the rain ~

My Johnny Jump-ups or Heartsease (as I learned they are also called and as I lovingly like to refer to them now), loved the rain we had recently.  There is an abundance of these lovely little flowers growing in my backyard! 

I took this photo last week, I had forgotten about it...this photo along with many other photos of these sweet little flowers...was mixed in with photos from a family birthday dinner we had. I wanted to post it before I got to far away from the day it was taken.

  1. One of my most favorite volunteers! They jump up all over my yard, even down in the woods. Amazing little plants!
