Officially, today was a "wildflower walk", but the wildflowers were not overwhelming (as they were at Natural Bridge three weeks earlier). Nonetheless, we did see a few nice ones.
In alphabetical order, since that's what's the easiest to upload on Blogger's current (awful) interface:
 |
| Birdfoot Violet (Viola pedata). Large flowers (for a violet) and distinctive leaves. |
 |
| The easily overlooked Bluets (Houstonia purpurea). |
 |
| Star Chickweed (Stellaria pubera). It looks like the flowers have 10 petals, but a closer examination show that there are 5 petals, each one deeply split. |
 |
| Rue-anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides). |
 |
| Virginia Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica). |
 |
| It seemed a bit early, but this colony of trillium (Trillium grandiflora) was in full bloom. |
