▶"Oxalis violacea —the violet wood-sorrel— is a perennial plant and herb in the family Oxalidaceae. It is native to eastern and central United States, and eastern Canada, clustering in open places in damp woods, on stream banks, and in moist prairies.
During April and May, oxalis violacea produces flower umbels [multiple flowers from a common stalk] with up to 19 flowers on stems, 3½ to 9 inches tall (9–23 cm). The flowers are pink to lavender to violet (occasionally white), ⅓ to ¾ inches wide (1–2 cm) with white to pale green centers above the foliage. The three-part leaves have heart-shaped leaflets, similar in appearance to small clovers such as the shamrock."

▶ "Phacelia (phacelia, scorpionweed, heliotrope) is a genus of about 200 species of annual or perennial herbaceous plants in the borage family (Boraginaceae), native to North and South America."
▶ "Phacelia bipinnatifida — commonly known as purple phacelia, fernleaf phacelia, spotted phacelia— is a species of phacelia native to the southeastern United States. It is a biennial plant growing up to 2 feet tall (60 cm). The flowers bloom in spring, and are round and lavender-blue in color, up to ¾ inches in diameter (2 cm)."
— Wikipedia.
▶ "Purple phacelia is aptly named, with a lovely purple 5-lobed corolla. There is a star-shaped white center to the blossom, and the hairy filaments carry the anthers well beyond the end of the corolla. Each plant can have many flowers in the several inflorescences per plant. The deeply lobed leaves gives 'purple phacelia' the alternate common name of 'fernleaf phacelia'."

▶ "Daucus carota —whose common names include wild carrot, bird's nest, bishop's lace— is a flowering plant in the celery/carrot/parsley family (Apiaceae). It is native to temperate regions of the Old World and was naturalized in North America (where it is known as Queen Anne's lace). Domesticated carrots are cultivars of a subspecies, Daucus carota subsp. sativus.
Daucus carota grows between 1 and 4 feet tall (30-120 cm), and is roughly hairy, with a stiff, solid stem. The flowers bloom from late spring until mid-fall. Each flower cluster is made up of numerous tiny white flowers on a flat-topped white umbel 3 to 6 inches wide (8–15 cm), sometimes with a solitary purple flower in the center. The flower cluster starts out curled up and opens to allow pollination. The cluster then rolls itself shut again, like a reverse umbrella, when it goes to seed at the end of the season. "

The mountain laurels are blooming on Burnt Fork Creek!

▶ "Kalmia latifolia — commonly known as mountain laurel — is a flowering plant in the heather family (Ericaceae), native to the eastern United States, naturally found on rocky slopes and mountainous forest areas.
An evergreen shrub, Kalmia latifolia grows 10- 30 feet tall (3–9 m). The flowers are hexagonal, sometimes appearing to be pentagonal, ranging from light pink to white, and occur in clusters, blooming in May and June. All parts of the plant are poisonous.
Kalmia latifolia is a pollinator plant, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. As the flower grows, the filaments of its stamens are bent and brought into tension. When an insect lands on the flower, the tension is released, forcefully catapulting the pollen up to 6 inches (15 cm) away."

▶ "Sisyrinchium angustifolium —commonly known as narrow-leaf blue-eyed-grass— is a herbaceous perennial, native to the eastern United States, found in moist meadows, open woodlands, low woods, and shorelines.
The plant (including a long stalk) is 6 to 20 inches in height (15–50 cm). The single flower consists of six blue tepals (a type of petal), ¼ to ⅜ inches long ( 7–10 mm), each tipped with a sharp point, veined, and darkening toward central yellow patch."
— Wikipedia.
▶ "Sisyrinchium is a large genus of annual to perennial flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to the Americas. The species is known as blue-eyed grasses and, though not true grasses —and with some varieties blooming with colors other than blue— most of the species have the general appearance of grasses: low-growing plants with long, thin leaves. And many Sisyrinchium species resemble irises, to which they are more closely related."

▶ "Coreopsis lanceolata —commonly known as lanceleaf coreopsis, lanceleaf tickseed— is a species of tickseed in the family Asteraceae, native to the eastern and central parts of the United States. Under natural conditions, it is found in open woodlands, prairies, plains, glades, meadows, and savannas.
Coreopsis lanceolata is a perennial plant sometimes attaining a height of over 2 feet (60 cm). The plant produces yellow flower heads singly at the top of a naked flowering stalk, each head containing both ray florets and disc florets. Each flower measures 2 to 3 inches across (5–8 cm). Flowers bloom April to June. After flowering, the ray florets are replaced by brown achenes [a type of simple dry fruit] that are 0.1-inches long (3 mm). Many insects are attracted to the plant's nectar and pollen, including bees, wasps, butterflies, moths, flies, and beetles. Birds and small mammals eat the achenes.
The genus name 'Coreopsis' means 'bug-like'; it —as well as the common name, 'tickseed'— comes from the fact that the seeds are small and resemble ticks. The specific epithet 'lanceolata' refers to the shape of the leaves: narrow and lance-shaped, 2 to 6 inches long (5–15 cm) with smooth margins."

▶ "Arum italicum —also known as Italian arum and Italian lords-and-ladies— is a tuberous perennial growing 12-18 inches high (30-45 cm). A member of the Araceae family, it is native to Asia, Europe, and North Africa, but has been introduced into parts of the United States where it may be considered invasive. [Compare to Arisaema triphyllum —aka Jack-in-the-pulpit— native to eastern North America.] The plant's habitat is forests, urban areas, riparian zones, and wetlands.
☞ The foliage consists of arrowhead-shaped, glossy gray-green leaves, 8-12 inches long (20-30 cm), adorned with pale midribs. The foliage becomes dormant in summer before emerging again in the fall, remaining through winter into spring.
☞ The flowers appear in the spring, each consisting of a large greenish-yellow spathe [leaf sheath enclosing flower clusters] surrounding a yellow spadix [small flowers on a fleshy stem]. The flowers are pollinated by small flies that are attracted to the plant due to the stale urine odor of the flowers.
☞ In summer, the flowers give way to showy spikes of glistening green berries that turn bright orange-red. The plant is reproduced via seeds from the berries.
☞ All parts of Arum italicum are highly toxic to humans and animals if ingested and can cause skin irritation. The genus name, Arum, is a Greek term meaning 'poisonous.' "

The flowers are 1½-2 inches long (4–5 cm), usually bright orange, but can vary from pastel orange to dark reddish-orange. These non-fragrant flowers have 4-5 lobes and grow in clusters of 5–10.
