Today’s post features some very early woodland wildflowers that I captured during a hike last week at Ha Ha Tonka State Park (Missouri). Being early, I wasn’t sure I’d find anything yet, but I did find one wildflower blooming and a couple of very early growths of other woodland wildflowers. I’m not totally confident of my identifications (very small plants, plus I can’t seem to find my all-important wildflower identification guide!), but my best guesses are:
False Rue Anemone:
Very small Columbine plants, growing out of the rock walls:
Very small Trillium (I found some maroon-colored trilliums here last year):
I’m planning on another hike, either later this week or early next week, to check on the progress of these, and to see if any new ones show up!
