Spring Beauty (Clayton virginica) is a miniature native perennial that has been blooming for several weeks and is a sure
sign of spring. It literally carpets uncut lawns. Here it is on a churchyard lawn.

To really enjoy miniatures you must join them at their level.
When you do get close to spring beauty you can the pink/purple veins and a yellow center.
We should not mind
So small a flower
Except it quiet bring
Our little garden that we lost
Back to the lawn again. ……
Emily Dickinson
