The Viola (probably sororia) in my front lawn are blooming wildly. Previous picture and some discussion in my post here:
https://garden.org/thread/view...

Meanwhile, the big patch of the same plant that I transplanted years ago (and filled in bare spots with more transplants each year) has just a few leaves of a few plants poking above ground. Most plants there are either dead or waiting until later and the live ones aren't near flowering yet.

Edit (semi reply to RobinD): Grass is the plurality plant in my lawn, but certainly not the majority. Blue bugle, dandelions, clover and moss are all ahead of Viola and there is a lot of Viola. I don't know the names of the other weeds and it is hard to estimate whether any of the unidentified ones are also ahead of Viola. I transplanted lots of blue bugle, moss and viola from where I don't want them to where I do. But none of them have been cooperative about that on either side. They recover fast where I removed them and do poorly where I put them.
