The sunshine on the weekend (and all the April rain) has allowed the Sharp-lobed Hepatica to open, which is the first wildflower to open in my woods. The bloodroots are following closely but the Hepatica, in the range of colors from white, pink, blues and violet, are the first to present new color on the woodland floor.
But being the first blossom open has it downfalls, as the first blossom which opened was totally bugged chewed, so I had to wait until a few more blossoms opened before taking a picture.
