The Spring Beauties have been especially abundant and beautiful this spring. Their tiny blossoms are only about a quarter inch across, yet they are full of detail and color.
The Bellwort is one of the shyest spring flowers. The blossoms always point downward toward the earth as though they are trying to attract insects crawling on the ground instead of those flying through the air. Notice how the stem holding the blossom grows through the center of a leaf.
Dutchman's Breeches are one of the early spring flowers. Looking like pairs of pantaloons, their blossoms are a sign that spring has really arrived.
Jonquils are often cultivated, but they do well in the wild, to which they sometimes "escape."
