This is just a quick post, looking for help in identification of one plant, and confirmation of others.

I went with a friend to my favorite wooded walk, at Five Rivers, couple of weeks ago. It was fun, and I was overjoyed finding these beautiful gems.

The trout lilies were in patches all over, do hope lots of people are able to see and enjoy them as I did.

The strawberries were coming, making me think of the Strawberry Festival at the Iroquois Museum in Howe’s Cavern, NY over Memorial Day weekend. If you go, you will learn the reason this is such an important time of year for the Iroquois.

The Blood Root is so stark white with the yellow centers, they really stand out shouting for us to look at them! Did I mention I love spring?
