Springtime is an amazing time to go walking in the woods. And what a fantastic opportunity for nature photographers to capture images of plants that bloom only during this time of the year! As well, it’s fascinating to find young ferns just starting to unfurl from their fiddlehead forms. Below are a few images of forest and woodland plants I have encountered in various garden forest settings, recently.

Wonderful woodland flowers. Ypsilandra is new to me. Funny how its leaves(?) grow. They look like a green maypole.
Thank you! Yes, it’s very odd how the leaves wrap around the stem. A Maypole is an excellent analogy!
I love the Epimedium 🙂 The Ypsilandra and the Sessile Trillium I’ve never seen before. Your wood anemones are blue, ours here in Belgium are white (with sometimes a little purple in it).
The Epimediums are so small. One can easily miss them. Also, we have white Wood Anemones as well as the blue ones.
Beautiful flowers!
Thank you!
