What a lovely tiny orchid, Susan. Is that your thumb? Tiny indeed! Is this a terrestrial paph? There's a lady slipper type that grows wild in these parts (not at mine, alas) and is a feature in a nearby village, which I am hoping to visit when they are in bloom this June.

Wallaby, the jacks are wild and do indeed grow here. They thrive despite the deep freeze. And yes, that is another Arysaema, one of three offshoots from the main plant. There are two others in the mine, and several large clumps of them where my mother found them years ago. BTW, I have been tempted by corydalis and your photos might just tip me over the edge.

Here's the Interrupted Fern, Osmunda Claytoniana.
