This cheerful little flower is blooming now among the Oaks, it is a spring ephemeral.
As the sunshine reaches the forest floor Hepatica sends up it’s flowers before they are shaded out by the trees. I think this one is the Sharp-Lobed Hepatica. It is a plant Native to Minnesota.
So delicate, even the color. Welcome, spring!

ReplyDeleteNatural areas are loaded with flowers if we look for them.
ReplyDeleteA pretty little wildflower. Easy to miss if one didn't slow down and pay attention.
ReplyDeletePretty little flowers aren't they ?! We have had rain for three days straight and it has been damp and chilly to , finally getting sunshine as of tomorrow and the rest of the week good for the gardens that's for sure ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteI do so love the little spring ephemerals! I guessed that it was a hepatica when I saw it. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteHepatica are so pretty. Ours have bloomed and disappeared except for a few leaves here and there. Do you have Mayapples in your area? They are showy this year in our area but past their peak.
