Spring wildflowers blooming and brightening the forest floor are always a treat to see. They don't last long - I guess that's why they're called spring ephemerals.
Large flowered bellworts often bloom in groups along hillsides or riverbanks.
The flowers are delicate, with long, tapered petals that look a little windblown.
Piper photo bombed my attempt at getting a good picture of the aptly named foam flower. She was curious about what had captured my attention, so she had to give them a sniff.
She didn't find them particularly interesting, though, and moved away so that I could get a second chance at a picture.
I have more spring wildflowers to share in a day or so, since they always entrance me with their beauty and I can't resist trying to photograph them.
