 Happy Monday and happy new week!  My Speedwell, or Veronica, was blooming recently.  I love the color of this particular variety.   Speedwells can be found in many colors and they have spiky flower blooms like this one and also small dainty blooms as well.

Happy Earth Day everyone!  Earth Day should be every day in my opinion.
Today is Wildflower Wednesday on the Blog once again.  This is one that is quite common in my area in spring and is one of the first flowers to bloom but I never realized what it was until I looked it up this year.  It is in the Veronica family and is called Wayside Speedwell.  I think it has quite lovely flowers actually even though it is considered a weed when it gets in lawns.
This flower has been added to the Lavender and Blue Page of Kansas Wildflowers that I hope are of use to people in search of IDs for the flowers you find around your area.

I decided on something nice and bright today because even though we can't get rain or snow we seem to be headed into some dreary cloudy days.  I captured these flowers in a field in Minnesota this past June.  I believe they are wild Veronica.  I just love the bubbly bokeh in this image as well.
