> Sparkle plenty. Bloodroot. This blossom shows the anthers shriveling and the ovary already more prominent than in blossoms that have just opened. Pollen speckles the petals. April 25, 2009 Secor Park, NW Ohio
> Common Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum multiflorum). This small individual was just beginning to set blossom buds along its gracefully curving stalk. April 25, 2009 Secor Park, NW Ohio
> The amazing variety of living things. This is a blossom of the 'lowly' Pachysandra. Until I took this picture, and looked at it closely, I had no idea how weird and intricate the blossom spike was. April 26, 2009 NW Ohio
> Hepatica sheltering at the base of an oak tree. I love Spring woodland wildflowers. Who wouldn't be charmed by such a sight? April 18, 2009 SE Michigan.
> Round-lobed Hepatica. My second favorite Spring wildflower, next to bloodroot. I have known hepatica to bloom in SE Michigan as early as late February in exposed (warmer) locations. This year, they only reached full bloom in mid-April! Yes, Spring has come very slowly this year. April 18, 2009 SE Michigan
> Round-lobed hepatica. Unlike the ephemeral bloodroot blossoms, hepatical bloom persist bravely for a number of days. Virtually all parts of the plant apart from the flowers are covered with fine hairs, as can be seen here. In the woodlands of SE Michigan and NW Ohio, hepatica can be seen in color variations from palest pink (nearly white) to deep purple. These blooms are just about as richly colored as hepatica comes. April 18, 2009 SE Michigan
> Hepatica. Bloom numbers vary widely in the clusters of hepatica that cover this hillside of mixed hardwood in SE Michigan. This cluster is on the larger size, and the blossoms on the paler side. April 18, 2009 SE Michigan
> Hepatica blossoms exhibit an interesting irregularity in number of petals and in their shapes and relative sizes, in contrast to the three-fold symmetry of the leaves and sepals. April 18, 2009 SE Michigan
> Ephemeral and exquisite. Bloodroot is my favorite spring wildflower. The light and shadows here are less than ideal with some of the outer petals blown out, but this shot shows the intrinsic sparkle of the petals better than my other shots, and gives a sense of the overall delicacy of the blossoms. April 16, 2009 NW Ohio.
Sparkle plenty. Bloodroot.

This blossom shows the anthers shriveling and the ovary already more prominent than in blossoms that have just opened. Pollen speckles the petals.
