I had big plans to do a series of posts rounding up some nice spring finds, and publish them over several days, but who am I kidding. I've been on several hikes since the last of these images were taken, and each hike generates more images...
So here's a whole bunch of spring woodland posts, published separately but all on the same day, or I'll never get caught up.
Toothwort--
Dentaria laciniata. A purple dragon when this young.
Trillium sessile (this is a pale form of the typical maroon ones)
Virginia bluebell
--Mertensia virginica. The young leaves lose this luscious purple color as they develop.
Virgina bluebell, bird's-eye view. Emerging buds visible upper left.
