First Flower of Summer

I saw these beautiful little lavender flowers growing in our yard among the dead brown leaves. It was light purple, but since the color was very light, the flowers looked almost blue-ish.


I really don't know what it was, but it was the first flower of this summer. The boys and I were both excited, and surprised to see this flower trying to push through the dried brown leaves.


After a couple of days of rain and cold, the flowers were pretty beaten, and lost their color a little, but I was lucky to get a few pictures before they were destroyed.


Those days were cold enough to leave some frosting on these flowers' petals early in the morning. We don't have any other growing just yet in our garden and I am waiting for the local nurseries to bring in their flowers.

Hopefully we will get to see some colors soon around here!
