Eliza Waters 
This is a new plant to me. Its common name really suits it!
Thank you, Audrey. A lovely and delicate native, it blends in and is easily overlooked. I have one patch that I look for every spring. ❤
Such a pretty flower Eliza. I’ve never seen it before. Reminds me of sleeping beauty arising from her slumber. 😃
Thank you, Cathy. She is a shy thing! 🙂
Adorable…
🙂 Thanks much!
💕
Such a pretty plant. When we first moved here, 37 1/2 years ago, there were several plants to learn names of…I know it as ‘wild oats’…I’ll go check, today…hoping deer didn’t eat them.
Thanks, Alice. Hope you will find them!
It’s a lovely thing, and new to me. Does each plant have a single flower?
Thanks, Linda. Yes, and if happy, they’ll form a colony. My patches here are small, but lovely all the same!
I love these little flowers. They make my woods’ floor go from brown to solid green in spring. So magical!
They are delicate and lovely, I wish I had more!
We have many scattered throughout our woods. But I also should attribute much of that green I talked about to foamflowers, another delicate little spring beauty.
That is a pretty little flower. I don’t think I have ever seen one.
Thanks, they are native to eastern and central US woodlands.

That’s a pretty little thing. I’m fond of flowers that have that bell-thing going. It requires some gymnastics to see inside the bloom. 🙂
Thanks, Tina. Given their shape, I expect they rely on small solitary bees to pollinate them. Today I noticed a really tiny (1/8″) one on my yellow violet. Small wonders!
So pretty and delicate!
Thank you, Dale. I’m always pleased to see them. 🙂
I bet!
So graceful and lovely! I’ve tried growing them here but no luck so far. As I develop the woodland gardens, perhaps I can coax her to be happy here.
Thank you, Lynn. They do seem to be quite specific about their conditions. Soil Conditions: Well-drained, Rich, Moist, Acidic
Exposure/Light Requirements: Full Shade, Partial Sun/Partial Shade, with little to no root competition.
Hope you are able to find a spot where they flourish!
I don’t think I have ever seen Bellwort. A native from further north than me! Very pretty and one of those things you can blink and miss?
Yes, a north and central US native, its pale coloring are easy to miss and being a typical spring ephemeral, once pollinated, the blossoms fade quickly.
An attractive plant and photo. After wondering for a long time the meaning and origin of “wort”, I looked it up only to discover it’s Old English for plant😏
Ha, so much for etymology! Good to know, though. Thanks, Belinda. 🙂
Beautiful plant! I will have to be on the lookout for it.
Thank you, Hien, it loves moist, acidic woodlands.
Pretty flower
I do love woodland plants. I often wish I had a woodland area to grow them in.
Most of where I live is woods and increasingly so as old farms are left to go wild. I sometimes miss the pastures of my youth with all the cows. 🙂
I wonder if the suffix ‘wort’ denotes a commonality? … like mugwort … and where it might come from, language-ly speaking. 😀
A previous comment revealed ‘wort’ is olde English for ‘plant.’ 🙂
Very beautiful. I have not noticed this plant before.
Thank you, Maria. This one is native to the northeast and central US, so perhaps not. 🙂
Delicate beauty!
Thank you, Donna!
Very pretty. Not a species I know, although looking online it sounds like they’re quite widespread.
Thank you, Adele. There is only one spot on our property (that I know of) where it grows, so I try to remember to look for it in early May. They don’t last long, so I’m happy when I catch them in time.
If a bell, it would be a long one.
Yes, it would!
I’ve never seen one of these — thanks for sharing it!
Thank you, Debbie, glad to share!
A sweet delight. I see I’m not the only one who is unfamiliar with it.
Thanks, Susie. Yes, not particularly common, I guess they are specific about what habitats they like.
An elegant flower that I’ve never seen before.
Thank you, Andrea… a woodland native here in the Northeast US. Not all that common even here.
