Dowagiac Woods

May 4, 2020 Dowagiac Woods in Cass County Michigan
It was a beautiful day for a walk in the woods.

                                                   Large-Flowered Trillium

                                                         Wild Ginger

                                                     Blue-Eyed Mary

                             A very new Maidenhair Fern

                                      Large-Flowered Bellwort

When I first saw this picture on the computer, I thought I was seeing a violet and Wild Leek.  Wild Leek is not blooming yet.  The white buds are actually from a Dwarf Ginseng.

Thanks for stopping by.
