Before the rain


Hellebore


Columbine leaves unfurling


Hellebore seedpods. Reminds me of some kind of carnivorous plant, eating a dead leaf (OK, I confess—I staged it).


Bloodroot. I'm obsessed with stamens.


Purple dead-nettle. Beautiful, but greedy, weed.


Toad trillium. Got a bunch of these on a plant rescue.

Trilliums are such cool plants! I had one...just one...at my old house, and I wish I had brought it when we moved.

The toad trilliums are the only kind I have. I love how the flowers look like those of sweet betsy/sweetshrub. If memory serves, I got these on a plant dig in Randleman before they finished and flooded the new reservoir. I have some little 'uns. Maybe I should save one for you.
