This Anemone, with its five-petaled blossoms, is one of the first forest floor species to bloom in the spring.
The Bellworts, with their shy, downward-facing blossoms, are one of the more subtle spring flowers.
The Dutchman's Breeches, looking like inverted miniature pantaloons, have been most prolific this spring. A Spring Beauty is peaking up in the lower left corner.
Here is an oddity; the leaf of a flower is covered by some kind of fungus. Human fingers are shown for scale. We saw several leaves on scattered plants that were so afflicted.
Although technically a Jonquil is not a wildflower, this one has gone wild, blooming faithfully in the middle of the woods year after year.
This Lilac is definitely not wild, but we can't resist the beautiful blossoms and heavenly fragrance.
This is a May Apple blossom. In a few weeks it will turn into a May Apple fruit, about as big as the end of your thumb. Notice that it stems from a bifurcation in this plant with two leaves. Most May Apple plants have only one leaf with no bifurcation, no blossom, and no apple. Only plants with two leaves have a blossom.
A shy Periwinkle peaks out at the world with its five-petaled blossom. It has escaped from someone's garden to find a home in the woods.
