Spring Wildflowers

While walking along the pipeline right-of-way, near our wetland area, I found some Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) starting to bloom.



The flower starting to open.



The small, 1 to 1.5 inch flowers will range in color from rose-purple to violet-purple.



The tiny, 1/4 inch, Mouse-ear Chickweed (Cerastium fontanum) flower is easy to miss.



Flowers consist of 5 white petals that are deeply lobed, giving the appearance of 10 petals.
