I have a perfect circle of small purple wild flowers growing in my front yard. What causes it?

Answer 1

In Celtic folklore it is called a fairy ring. According to tradition you are to enter the ring and stand in the center. Then turn around three times while making a wish. If the fairies find you worthy they will grant your wish. In reality no one can tell you for certain how it happens. But it does happen naturally without human intervention. Most of the time it is mushrooms that grow in circles. Flowering plants are very rare to do this. It can be caused by gopher tunnels or a whirl wind at seed spawn. If you have children let them make a wish and enjoy it.

Answer 2

These are not flowers, they are weeds. I know that mushrooms grow in circles because the majority of the fungus is underground and grows in a circular pattern there. Possibly, your weeds also pertain to this. Hope i helped! : )

Answer 3

It starts with one, which spreads its seeds in a circle. The circle grows with generations.

Answer 4

no longer in someones backyard yet on the city the place I used to stay there became into one in front of the 2nd hand save. Isnt that unusual. i assume there attempting to apply some thing grotesque for some thing incredibly.

Answer 5

If the leaves look like a spade (cards), then it is wild violets. If you want to get rid of them without harming grass then spray weed and brush killer on it. Regular weed spray (24D) will not kill it, you need something with Triclopyr in it to get rid of it. Good Luck

Answer 6

Seeds
