YELLOW FIELD-PANSY Viola arvensis

The Creator has put the seasons in order, even as He set the moon and stars in the heavens. The prophet Ezekiel quoted God’s promised blessing regarding the seasons when he wrote, “I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing.” (Ezekiel 34:26)

It is fascinating to watch the earth awakening in the spring. All about us will be many tiny blooms. Because they will be small, they will be easy to overlook. Most of these tiny wildflowers live close to the ground. Early in the season their stems are short, but as the March winds subside some will develop longer stems.
