Wildflower report

Currently blooming in our woods & lawn:
  • Cutleaf Toothwort (Cardamine concatenata) - By far the most abundant wildflower in our hollow; nearly covering wide areas of the forest floor, especially on the western side of the hollow (eastward facing).
  • Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica) - Very common
  • Yellow Corydalis (Corydalis flavula)
  • Common Blue Violet (Viola papilionacea) - Just a few so far
  • Trillium sessile - common
  • Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum) - many of the brown mottled leaves beginning to appear, but I have only seen one plant in bloom so far.
  • Rue Anemone (Anemonella thalicitroides)
  • Harbinger of Spring (Erigenia bulbosa) is pretty much done and gone to seed
  • Purple Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureum) - Mostly in our yard, and in disturbed areas
  • Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) - lawn
  • Field Pansy (Viola kitaibeliana) - lawn
  • Birdseye Speedwell (Veronica persica) - Abundant in our front lawn
