We took a short walk in the woods, behind our RV, yesterday. There are many Spring flowers out, but we saw some that are either new to us or that we can not identify. The most interesting ones are in the photos above. These purple flowers in some ways look like irises. they are purple, but they have three protrusions, or "beards" rather than one we usually see in iris. They look like some type of orchid to me.
The next interesting flowers resemble what we know as "dog-tooth violets", except the leaves are not spotted. I wonder if they are not just a variant. There are two photos of these, below.
We also found a flower, which is new to us. This is called "foamflower" according to a pamphlet we have. The flower reassembles what we in New England call :Wild Lilly of the Valley". The plant is much taller, perhaps seven to ten inches high and the leaves are different than wild lilly of the valley. A picture of a foamflower is above, on the right.
