Forest Ramble

The York Regional Forest trails are coming to life after a long winter. We walked part of Holledge Tract.... mostly flat, just a couple of small slopes. The woodland flowers are blooming.

Sessile Bellwort uvularia sessifolia also known as Merrybells or Wild Oats

Wood Anemone  anemone memorosa

Bulbous Buttercup ranunculous bulbosus  also known as St Anthony's Turnip!

Trout Lily erythronium americanum  also known as Adder's Tongue or Dogtooth Violet.

  6. That's a nice walk with lovely spring flowers. Buttercups are really nice and I never knew their other name.

  8. My grandmother used to get mad with me for looking at my feet as I walked along - but how else could one see all these beautiful treasures laid out on the ground?
    Really love your photo of the Trout Lily :)

  9. Beautiful series of wildflowers from your walk Shammi, nice to get out in the fresh air. We're off on a hike this weekend.
    Btw it was my first shot, Astrazeneca, next one in eleven weeks. Oh my gosh I had a horrible reaction. Still feeling really tired. Which type did you get?

    1. I got Pfizer, and I was fine. But here in Ontario the AstraZeneca shot has been discontinued due to the possibility of blood clots.

  10. Lovely set of flowers. Now I'm wondering if what was growing in my yard was a Wood Anemone, and not a Carolina Spring Beauty. Hmmm... (I don't know much about plants.)
