If April showers bring May flowers what do February showers bring? Mid-winter depression? Hopefully not, but here are some cheerful flowers to lift the mood on a dreary Monday in Cambridge.

That Purple Flower in Your Yard Might Be a Wild Violet

Spring's calling card in a million lawns. Those cheerful little purple faces popping up in your grass are most likely Common Blue Violets (Viola sororia). They're native, hardy, and a sign of healthy, slightly shady soil.

But before you call it a day, here's the fun part: not all purple ground flowers are violets. It could be Henbit (with square stems and leaves that wrap around it) or Dead Nettle (similar, but often with silvery leaf markings). The easiest giveaway? True violets have those distinctive heart-shaped leaves.

Why bother to ID it? Because if you love it, you can encourage it as a native groundcover. If it's a weed to you, knowing exactly what it is tells you the best way to manage it. The fastest way to solve the mystery? Snap a picture. A quick check with a plant identifier app like ours can confirm if it's a friendly violet or a different floral visitor in seconds.
