Wildflowers Beginning

Today I was able to spot the beginnings of several of the wildflowers that appear each year in the wild parts of our yard. The troutlilies are just poking their leaves above the ground throughout the creekside area. And I love the Bloodroot, which some years is able to sprout, grow, bloom and fade all within a week while I am at work.



This year I think I've captured the beginnings of both. No sign yet of the Spring Beauties, nor the Trilium, nor any of the others. But these are on their way, and the next week of projected high temperatures above 45 degrees and lows above freezing should bring them close to flowering by next weekend.
