June woodland happenings
Now that the Hepatica seeds are all safe and moist and Claytonia capsules are making popping sounds from the paper bags :) we can enjoy a woodland walk.
As the Trillium grandiflorum is coming to an end other species start flowering. The mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum), Trientalis borealis, Aralia nudicaulis, Aquilegia canadensis, Maianthemum canadensis, Maianthemum stellatum, Clintonia borealis and all others are looking very happy after the rainy spring season. Considering the dryness of the last couple of years it is so very pleasant to see the woods looking green, lush and happy! Follow the links to read more about them or just enjoy the pictures.

Beautiful photos! The May apples are just getting ready to bloom here, I love their sweet white blossoms. Good to hear that you are getting rain; we have been deluged here and everything is lushly green.
Seriously I am dribbling! Wonderful photos, I am almost there, almost …… :)
Thank you; same here. In few regions it’s been a bit too much rain (for people ;) but plants are enjoying it that’s for sure! They deserve a break from drought once in a while.
Thanks Gill :) there were more in flower but too windy for good pictures.
