Broad leaf or Carolina spring Beaut’
Claytonia caroliniana
Virginia spring beaut leaves in background just starting to leaf out
Claytonia virginica
Photographed in RRG in mixed mesophytic woodland, Carolina spring beaut has a few great lakes region United States pops and is mainly found in the core regions of the Appalachian Mountains. A true disjunction as a lower ozark plat pop is in Arkansas; where as the rich alkaline mesic woods and bottomland forests are packed with Virginia spring beaut until you hit semi arid regions and where the central plains starts becoming the rocky mountain region.

First Spring Beauties (Claytonia virginica) I’ve seen this year. Lucky to feel ok enough to hike.
A clever eye will spot the beginning of some other spring wildflowers as well :3

3-31-24: First Wildflower Walk of 2024...
Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. We finally had a good soaking! Lighting, thunder, and lots of rain! The rain gauge said 1 3/4″ in the end. I went Moral mushroom hunting on Saturday and found around 20, but most of them were on the small side so I left them behind. I found a few that were big enough to fill a 9″ skillet. Then on Sunday, I went to my friend Kevin’s secluded woods…

Spring beauty miner bee, Andrena erigenia, Andrenidae
Spring beauty miner bees are a solitary, ground-nesting species that relies on spring beauty flowers (Claytonia virginica) to obtain nectar for themselves and both nectar and pollen for their larvae. The hairs on the female bee’s legs collect the striking pink pollen to bring back to her larvae. Found in the eastern United States and up into Canada.

Virginia Springbeauty (Claytonia virginica)
One of the earliest spring flowers!
It is called "fairy spud" because it produces tubers that you can eat just like potatoes!
A particular species of mining bee depends almost entirely upon this plant!
It can go in a lawn—it will blanket the ground in blossoms in early spring before mowing starts, and die off before summer. The leaves look just like grass. (I think it probably needs fallen leaves for support and moisture though!)

My Garden Flowers Part 3
All photos mine. The small buttercup and evening primrose are edited for colour since the camera didn't catch it and washed it out.
In order of appearance:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In order of appearance:
061. Wild Basil (Clinopodium vulgare) Didn't do so well the last place I had her in, but she seems happy in this spot, so fingers crossed.
062. Crested Iris (Iris cristata) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.
063. Smallflower Buttercup (Rancunculus abortivus) Not much to look at compared with other buttercups but one of the only native buttercups with (limited) edible uses.
064. Smooth Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum biflorum) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet. Soon, hopefully!
065. False Solomon's Seal (Maianthemum racemosa) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet, but she's growing well so hopefully next year.
066. Blisterwort (Ranunculus recurvatus) I didn't plant that. She just turned up last year. Not pictured as I haven't got any pictures yet.
067. Fairy Spuds (Claytonia virginica) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet. She's a wee little spud in the ground.
068. Flowering Dogwood (Cornus floridus) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet but she is slowly spreading out.
069. Plantain-Leaf Sedge (Carex plantaginea) Not pictured as I haven't got pictures yet. I should. It's a neat plant. Evergreen, too!
070. Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) One of the prettiest plants I've ever seen, from the shape and texture of the leaves to the purplish pink buds to the bright blue bell-shaped flowers. They're spring ephemerals, though, so they're long gone by now. But will emerge next spring!
071. Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis) Only lives for two years and reseeds itself. It's a common weed along sidewalks, but its flowers glow yellow in the evening and often remain in bloom at night.
072. Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet. The leaves are really cute, though.
073. Large Toothwort (Cardamine maxima) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.
074. Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) Not pictured as I haven't got any pictures yet.
075. Great Burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis) A cultivar, not sure which one. I'll get the wild type if/when I can.
076. American Plum (Prunus americana) I was not expecting her to flower this year! Hopefully she will next year too, and without aphids this time so I can have some plums. :)
077. Smooth Aster (Symphyotrichum laeve) So like I said, I do think New England asters are the prettiest of this genus, but smooth asters are very nice in their own way. Tender bluish leaves, and delicate light purple flowers.
078. Sweet Grass (Hierochloe odorata) Not pictured as I haven't got any pictures yet. She only flowered one year. Hasn't since. I won't miss a photo next time.
079. Nodding Onion (Allium cernuum) What's better than pretty flowers? Tasty pretty flowers!
080-081. Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos) Two different cultivars and the red one has died, but I did get my hands on the wild type! That will hopefully bloom this year.
082. Stiff Sunflower (Helianthus pauciflorus subrhomboideus) Holds her own against the much more aggressive Nuttall's sunflower. Sometimes called beautiful sunflower. I don't know how one decides which species of a very showy genus gets that name, but I guess she won out.
083. Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) Another one that was hard to choose a photo of. You just hardly believe they're real!
084. Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris) I planted her where there's a drip from the eavestrough so she can get very wet when it rains. :) She is not a marigold but instead part of the buttercup family.
085. Nuttall's Sunflower (Helianthus nuttallii) Whenever I am expressing frustration about sunflowers, it is almost always this species. lol Very beautiful but very aggressive.
086. Larkspur Violet (Viola pedatifida) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.
087. White Turtlehead (Chelone glabra) Not pictured as she hasn't flowered yet.
088. Small Sundrops (Oenothera perennis) Not quite as intensely yellow as some of her relatives but still very bright.
089. Bigleaf Aster (Eurybia macrophylla) You generally grow her for foliage rather than her flowers, but flowering she is! Very drought-tolerant, but spreads more readily in less harsh conditions.
090. Bride's Feathers (Aruncus dioicus) Southern Ontario and surrounding area's evolution really went off on the lacy white flowers, and this species' flowers might be the laciest of them all.
