Sometimes I simply marvel at how beautifully our native wildflowers are arranged by Mother Nature. Here are just three examples of spring-blooming wildflower settings I stood in awe of:
I was delighted to find Foamflower (Tiarella stolonifera) in full bloom this week, lucky to see it before it fades. It was blooming earlier than usual this year, and its flowers would soon go to seed. A spring-watered, moss-covered boulder provided the perfect foil for the delicate florets. I loved how this fern frond appeared to be bowing before the Foamflower's beauty.
The elegant Starflower (Lysimachia borealis) usually bears two or three or (rarely) even more flowers per plant on thread-fine stalks, but I particularly loved the stunning simplicity of this solitary bloom, startling in its pure whiteness against the rough dark bark of a fallen tree.
