On the 16 May our nature was brown, on the 18 May it was almost all green, and now it is growing so fast I hardly can follow. I was almost too late to harvest the fiddle heads, but I will taste some of them today (I made a post about how I cook them last year). And I did a few photographs. But hopefully can I go back very soon. This is a nature reserve just around the corner from where I live. The plant above is Herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia), it is poisonous but beautiful. Some more photos from Norwagian nature on this link. And plants on this link.
The dog just have to wait while I take a few photos. He has patience. I hope you have chance to enjoy some nature too.

Beautiful ! —– then, wait a moment, have I ever seen yellow violet before ?
LikeLike
You notice everything, Yoshizen. We call the yellow violets for “mountain violet”, but they also grow in the forests. I googled to get the english name, and what do I find on Wiki; you find this in Japan too!: “Viola biflora is a species of the genus Viola. It is also called twoflower violet. It is found in Europe, Siberia, Central Asia, Pakistan, western and northern China, North Korea, Japan, and Western North America.”
