Spring ephemerals

If you take a “wildflower walk” in the Adirondack woods this time of year, here’s what you might see. But you better hurry, they don’t last too long!
All of these wildflowers are found in a typical hardwood forest or “beech, birch, maple forest”- (click on wildflower name):
Red trillium -Trillium erectum
Yellow trout lily -Erythronium americanum
Painted trillium -Trillium undulatum
Dwarf ginseng -Panax trifolius
Trailing arbutus -Epigaea repens
Round-leaved yellow violet -Viola rotundifolia
and last, but not least
Spring beauty -Claytonia virginica

Agreed! They are precious and we’re just starting to see them open up here at 1,700 ft elevation.

Came across tons of yellow trout lillies by old forge. Just precious.

Thanks Brian. I particularly like your photo of the Painted trillium. The sun light is really nice.
