let me share some wildflowers with you

These are in the swampy woods, by the skunk cabbages and the slowly unfurling ferns, and the jack-in-the-pulpits.

This one goes by the name of bellwort, which seems right, little wild bells. It's also called wild oats, though it doesn't look so very oatlike. The Latin name is Uvularia sessilifolia

And growing alongside it, dwarf gensing (Panax trifolius)

See you soon--off to run an errand.
