And a few more...
#1 is the first anemonella thalictroides of the year.
You can see the reddish new foliage just behind the blossom.
#2 is a somewhat bedraggled hacquetia epipactis.
After last winter, I'll take anything resembling a bloom.
#3 is a bloodroot. They naturally colonize my woods.
The flower emerges before the foliage has unfurled.
#4 Cardamine heptaphylla.
It will form drifts of lavender blooms in the woods within the next week or two.
Spreads a little, but not invasive.
Hopefully today's beautiful temps aren't just a tease, but here to stay!
