Birdeye Speedwell

The first speedwell of the year is always Birdeye Speedwell (Veronica persica) and generally it is also the last, because it flowers all year round if it is not too dry and not too cold.

It covers the soil in cultivated fields, gardens, meadows, and you can find it also on a walking path not too much walked on, like here.Nearly all Speedwells are blue, but this one is of a really good blue. The flowers don't stay long on the plant and are immediately replaced by new flowers.




A ray of sunshine and the colours come out. Just what you need in this grey season.
