in Canada3 years ago (edited)

These tiny little purple flowers are sprouting all over my lawn this year... millions of them.
They seem to droop over so they are facing down ? My lawn is more purple than green ...

Anyone know what they are ?

Update: I Found them... see below

This is what they look like from above.

This is the front face of the flower that seems to always droop downwards.

Very soft and delicate.

They are very Difficult to photograph since they are always dancing in the wind.

Absolutely gorgeous and yes it is about that time that spring comes about.

Apple blossoms and lilacs are coming next.

I absolutely love flowers and this entire beautiful world.

I wonder if any part of such lovely flower is edible? Nice photos.

Good question.... I looked it up.

The whole plant is poisonous and it is an ingredient in e.g. rat poison. Like many poisonous plants Siberian squill can also be used as a heart medicine if it is administered in the correct dosage. Siberian squill is connected with many beliefs, the oldest of which go back to ancient times: the scientific name of the genus is related to the goddess Scylla of Greek mythology, a beauty who was tuned into a terrible sea monster. The superstitious people long regarded Siberian squill as a flower of witches and evil spirits which shouldn’t even be stepped on. It is doubtful that anybody would feel inclined to trample on this herald of the spring, even though its beauty can be enjoyed without any fear of evil spirits.

Nice, thanks for looking that up. So people who want the death jab can eat it...those who use their brains would not bother eating it. Good to know a bit of the folk lore about such a nice flower. Thanks.

Yeah... pretty but deadly.
