A tiny white violet that I have never identified covers a great deal of territory deep in the forest.
The trilliums are a little water logged, but they are at peak bloom. The Nodding Trillium may have an advantage in this incessant rain.
The Trillium grandiflorum look a little more bedraggled. I need to move some of these soon while I can still tell whose who.
A lingering winter and cool spring have the Showy Orchis a little behind last year's bloom time. I see flower buds though.
I had caged both orchids to protect them from the deer who ate them in full bloom two years ago. The flimsier cage blew off the better looking orchid above. I re-caged it. The other is looking a bit smaller than I remember. A cage won't protect them from the slugs unfortunately.
The plant that dare not speak its name is waking up. Seeing how it unfurls will help me search for babies where I have been sowing seed.
It has it wily ways. It may not come up every year. They can go into dormancy/hiding for several years at a time if conditions are not suitable to their tastes. I just need to know where they are so I can collect the seed before the varmints can get them.
Deep in the forest with an umbrella, stalking the wild things while they are in bloom.

Rain or shine - it's all beautiful!
Sometimes stalking is good. I remember doing the same. One can see a lot while doing this. I too knew where the unmentioned plant was & checked it often. I do have a pressed leaf form in a frame. Need to find someone that knows calligraphy so to put it's name therein.
Lots and lots of rain Sallysmom.
Lola I like the idea of a pressed and framed leaf of the nameless plant.
Hi Christopher! It is so beautiful deep in the forest. Amazing how all that green is coming alive!
