I found a really nice description on a website about the lenten rose. It just reminded me of how I kneed and lay on the soil to take these photos. Here is the excerpt:
Outstanding Characteristics:
Lenten rose flowers are valued for their early-blooming quality, injecting color into the early spring landscape after the wintertime's long reign of browns, grays and whites. They not only usher in spring but also bestow upon it their stamp of approval, nodding their flower heads down to the spring earth as if to say, "Job well done." I sometimes wish, however, that they'd pay more attention to me and look me in the face, so that I wouldn't have to contort my body in an effort to behold their countenance. Besides early blooming, an almost equally salient trait is the persistence of Lenten rose's trademark sepals.
Weren't these flowers lovely?
Want some more?
Let's have some white and blue!
