a number of wildflowers were blooming during this time: lots of claytonias, trilliums, some Jack-in-a-pulpits, Dodecatheon meadia (shooting star),pussy-toes, many mayapples, common yellow violets in quantity, and lots of common purple violets.
Be sure to see Gardens in Ohio.
I really want some Shooting Stars. I think I know where I can find some, but don’t think I dare take them. 🙁
