Gorgeous Eliza!
Thank you so much, Heather!
This photo makes me think of a young ballerina taking a bow. Very nice.
This is so true – I didn’t see it, then as soon as I read it, it’s all I can think about looking at the flower!
A lovely description for it!
🙂
Thank you, Micheal. I love your imagery!
And I love your photography!
Aw, thanks! 🙂
Elegant and simple.
Yes, I love the simplicity of bell wort. Thank you, Jim.
Exquisite!
Thank you so much, Dor!
Another glimpse of spring.
I so love this time of year!
There is always new life 🌸🌸
A wonderful thing! 🙂
I love the simplicity of your photography, really beautiful.
Thank you kindly!
Wonderful shot.
Thank you very much, Victor.
Fleeting beauty!
Indeed, they go by so quickly. They herald the spring and then are gone. 🙂
Fortunately each spring day Seems to bring a new surprise or returning friends
Yes it does and I am grateful for it!
Another beautiful photo that needs no words!
Many thanks, Stephanie!
Really lovely.
Thank you, Sylvia.
A skirt for a fairy! I know this is “wild oats” but found through some look ups that it is a.k.a. “Merrybells” ……what a happy name!
I’ve always known it as bellwort, but I assume there are many regional names. Thanks, Alice!
Perhaps it’s the snow in our forecast but my first thought was, “The early bud gets the frost.” Courage little forest flower,courage! 8^)
😀 Yes, it may look delicate, but it has fortitude being one of the first ephemerals to bloom. Thanks for your comment, Frank!
so fragile, so beautiful =^_^=
Thank you, D. Yes, it is a lovely little flower.
Oh, yes! Merrybells is a much better name than wild oats. Perhaps the wood spirits make those little bells chime?
Very magical!
Yes, Fairies come to mind. 🙂
Yes! Fairy lanterns – perfect! 🙂
Bellwort? Something I’ve yet to plant. Beautiful!
I love this little spring ephemeral. It goes dormant by summer, so it makes it all the more special.
An elegant, characterful plant portrait – I love it!
Thank you, Susan!
Very elegant.
Thank you, Brian. It’s a very graceful plant.
Gorgeous.
Thank you. 🙂
I can’t be “wordless”. Happy! Just saw 1 st Male Hummingbird on my feeder under a Weeping Cherry….how do they remember where it is? I think this is year 14 that they are giving a sugar drink! 😋😊 25 miles south of Boston, MA!
How exciting, Alice! Wow, it seems early, but with the mild weather, I guess they are ‘full speed ahead.’ It is amazing that they seem to remember the exact location – I’ve often wondered how they do that!
Glorious!!! LOVE this, so simple, so pure. Beautiful capture, Eliza!! ❤
Thank you so much, Amy. 🙂 ❤
It does look like a dancer. Beautiful lines.
Beautiful and so very sweet.
Thank you, Gigi.
Lovely
Thank you, Tosha. 🙂
You’re welcome
Great shot, Eliza!
Thank you very much, Anca!
Eliza that is very beautiful and a great photograph. What is it?
Thank you, Dorris. It is Bellwort or Uvularia – a northeast US native. (For future reference, I usually put the genus and species in the tagline.) Thanks for your interest!
Very nice!!! Things are starting to pop up here… I must get out there with my macro lens.
Thank you, Denise. Spring is such a delightful time of year – everything is bursting forth!
A stunning shot.
Thank you, Fi!
Wow, Eliza,
I love this photo. It is so elegant! Uvularia sp? I found a related species earlier this week but haven’t seen this one.
Thank you, Melissa. It is Uvularia sessilifolia, I believe. One of the first spring ephemerals in our woods.
Love the green in the brown background…
Spring emergence really emphasizes the contrast. Thanks!
Yes exactly! 🙂
Fantastic shot of that gorgeous plant.
Thank you so much!
I love the simplicity of this single plant photo!
🙂 Thank you!
breathtaking!
Thank you, Dolly!
