Trillium grandiflorum
From left to right: young cornus florida, a nursery grown small leafed azalea, a tall, old ‘Windbeam’ Rhododendron. The tree trunks are Norway spruces, the fern is predominantly Eastern Hay Scented and members of the Male fern genus.
Giant Solomon’s Seal, Trillium grandiflora, an unknown hosta, European wild ginger (just visible beneath the Solomon’s Seal).
Native Mayflower, also known as Canadian Lily of the Valley beneath Hemlocks and Pines.
Also blooming in the woods: Starflower (or Twin flower), wild phlox, False Solomon’s Seal, Silky Dogwood, Swamp Azaleas, Viburnum tomentosum, Blue Star, Jack in the Pulpit, Sasparilla, English Bluebells, and many others!
Great post and lovely photos. Walking through the woods is always so uplifting and provides photographers with so many opportunities.

Thanks! I am blessed by the fact that I took all of those pictures right outside my front door. Lawns and gardens don’t have to be unnatural or ecology-poor…
