Mitella diphylla
Saxifragaceae

The wildflowers continue to start blooming about two weeks earlier than last year. I’m told that twinflower is done and gone to seed already. Bloodroot is done, too, and so is cutleaf toothwort, though slender toothwort is just starting. Trout lilies are done in some locations, but still going strong in others. Virginia bluebells are waning.

• southern chervil
• smooth blackhaw
• downy serviceberry
• plantain-leaved pussytoes
• moss phlox
• Coville’s phacelia
• wild ginger
• deerberry
• white violets
