Dog Tooth Violet...Adder's Tongue...

Lovely must look spectacular to see acres of them.

When the trees are not yet in leaf...the forest floor is a riot of colour...there is a lovely little plant which I think is a dicentra which grows with the DTviolet it looks like a clothes line of white bloomers...hence we called them Dutchmen's Britches! I didn't see any today...maybe need to look more closely!

Sounds very much like one Lori ..cant say I m familiar with any Dutchmans britches though...so I ll leave you to take a closer look lol

Just googled the britches and found out they are Dicentra cucullaria...

This is erythronium Lori. A unusual shade to this one. A little ruddy. I just love them in a natural setting.

Thanks for the proper name for Adder's tongues, Gt. the back of the petals sometimes is a peachy pinky colour...which could be a response to late frost, I think. Aren't they beautiful, though? Any wonder that spring is my favourite season!!??

It sure is filled with wonders some small and short lived, even better. :-)

Yes, Erythronium (Dog's -Tooth Violet, in my "book"). What a lovely colour to this one, Lori!. :-)
