Wildflowers flourishing along a tranquil Ozarkian trail. It was a blessing to enjoy this beautiful place where the sun kissed spots of the blue forest floor and only the sound of bird songs and soft wind whispered through the trees. The blue-eyed mary (Collinsia verna) and virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) thriving on the forest floor are both native spring ephemerals found throughout the central and eastern parts of North America.

Collinsia verna, 

Since the removal of honeysuckle from this section of the preserve there has been noticeable and extreme increase in this annual. It fills in the forest floor mosaic in any open spot blanketing the sunlit valley with white and blue. As for other plants of interest such as Trifolium reflexum which was found on the preserve along with several other individuals that were planted, it is a needle in the haystack scenario. 

In open mixed white oak and walnut flat woods as they transition into riparian woodland.

Purple Chinese Houses (Collinsia heterophylla) growing right across the street from me! Native to California down into Baja I believe

There are two species of Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia) that I have photographed so far. Members of this genus belong to the Plantain Family (Plantaginaceae). The top two photos are of Large-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia Grandiflora) which were growing in a fen near Oregon City. The lower two photos are of Small-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia Parviflora) which can be found on mossy rock outcrops in many locations throughout western Oregon.
