It is difficult to take photos of just one wildflower.....many are clustered together.
Here we have May-apples shading Spring Beauties and Violets.
Between the tree roots is some sort of Oxalis.....I can see the triple leaves....with Violets and ferns on the side. In another week or two I think there will be some big changes. I remember that oxalis from last year as well as a different type which I didn't see yet this year. I also couldn't find any Jack-in-the-Pulpits yet.
Henbit? Dead-Nettle of some sort? I'm never sure about this.
There were only a few Phlox so far. I love all types of Phlox.
Carpets of May-apple everywhere! Most of these appear to have just a single leaf and no flower. Is it an age difference that brings the double leaf and the flower in between? I have an old established bunch at my house that all have flowers.
There is always at least one May-apple leaf that tries to come through a dead oak leaf leaving it with a trapped "necklace". I set this one free after I took the photo :-)
These look like Trillium leaves.....but no flowers.
Here is one with the dark red flower.
Another unopened one......looked bigger to me, maybe different?
Lots of Spring Beauties in the woods and even covering entire yards. I thought these looked more pink then most that I see.
A white mixture....Spring Beauty and Rue Anemone (I think)
The Rue flower closer.
A little white star like flower with the Rue.
Ferns of some sort in large patches.
A different sort of fern with the "fiddleheads". My close-ups weren't in focus.
Back out in the sunshine as we walked to the car, a yellow butterfly enjoying a dandelion. Someone has to enjoy them :-)
