Spring Beauty & Friend
Spring Beauty (claytonia virginica) is a common little wildflower found in fields, glades, the forest floor and sometimes yards. It is about the size of a dime (20mm), with some being pale purple and others like this one, with more white. All have the pink anthers.
I still have not found a morel this spring, although I'm hearing family and friends tell of 5-gallon buckets full being gathered. I was surprised to see some indian paintbrush a couple days ago, but didn't get a photo. I thought it was too early for it!
