Last Sunday in April: Spring Ephemerals

  

Black cherry on creekside bank at woods' edge....

What will be found deeper in the woods today?

Season's first trout lily (a.k.a. dogtooth violet)

Dutchman's breeches (photo from previous post)

From this morning

Beautiful, shy bellwort

And there will be more.

Is this what you were waiting for?

Come closer.

This one excited me: Hepatica!

P.S. (I am a slow thinker.) If you have a favorite among today's photos, tell me in a comment below which one it is and why it's your #1. Thanks. 😊
