Two new plant IDs! These have been showing up all over the property this year. They may have been here before, but seeing more than ever.
Top white flower is Stellaria media (Chickweed). There’s quite a bit near the south side of the shop where we cleared for the play area.
Bottom purple flower is Synthyris reniformis (Snow Queen), which is a common wildflower of the Pacific Northwest. This is all over the trails, in particular the one leading to the pond, as well as the Billy Trail.
