More Spring Wildflowers!

I used to wander the woods a lot in the early weeks of May.  So to build on my sister's photos of Trillium and Trout Lily in my last post, here are a few of my own favourite spring wildflower shots.

This is one of my favoujrite wildflower shots of all time, a Red Trillium.

This really weird purple flower unfolding is the Blue Cohosh,  

No, it's not purple once the leaves appear, just green.

And I've never seen a plant grow so fast; it will grow two inches a day.

Violets are plentiful on the forest floor.  This is the Northern White Violet.

And this is the Downy Yellow Violet.

Wild Ginger is one of the most unusual, as the flower lies on the ground under the leaves.

A close look shows a flower that is deep red, almost brown.

This one is Spring Beauty, a delicate little flower.

This unusual one is Squirrel Corn.

Ad these delicate little blooms are Dutchman's Breeches.

And I'll finish with my own favourite photo of a White Trillium.
