A couple of days ago there were only a handful of spring beauties and no yellow violets. Now there are spring beauties everywhere and scores of yellow violets.

Red Trilliums. I didn't get back to the woods near our house until later in the season last year, and there wasn't much to see. I have been back there every morning this week, and I am glad to see more red trilliums than I have seen in the last few years. There are a lot of immature plants too, so here is hoping there will be more in the future.

There used to be hundreds of trilliums, but a storm took out a lot of the canopy, one year, which killed off a lot of the wildflowers. The canopy has been recovering, and the flower population seems to be coming back in a new part of the woods.
