Wildflower report

I went for a nice walk with Sadie down to the Harpeth River. It's a beautiful, sunny 70º day. The following wildflowers were all observed in bloom. I'm not sure why, but our own hollow seemed to have the highest concentration of Toothworts and Spring Beauties.
Observed in the forest:

• Cutleaf Toothwort (Cardamine concatenata)
• Harbinger of Spring (Erigenia bulbosa)
• Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica)
• Yellow Corydalis (Corydalis flavula)
• Common Blue Violet (Viola papilionacea) - Observed only in one location, high on an eastern facing ridge.

Observed in other areas:

• Purple Dead Nettle (Lamium purpureum) - Mostly in our yard, and in sunny forest edges
• Birdseye Speedwell (Veronica persica) - Only in our yard and in the disturbed floodplain of the river
• Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) - Only a couple, in our yard
• Star Chickweed (Stellaria pubera) - In disturbed floodplain of river
• Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea) -  In disturbed floodplain of river

Other items of note:

• Saw the first bumblebee of the season (on Lamium purpureum) in the front yard
• 4 turtles sunning on a shoreline log in the Harpeth River
• Lots of deer tracks in the mud down by the river
• 2 Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) lazily hanging out in the river
