Who cares what the ground hog says, there are definitely signs of spring in the woods. Yesterday I went to one of my favorite wildflower haunts, one of the several sites in Tennessee owned by the The Nature Conservancy. Here are a few of the flowers blooming now in middle Tennessee.

Aptly named, this is one of the very first wildflowers to bloom.

Harbinger-of-Spring (Eriginia bulbosa)

Here is another of the early bloomers. This flower is sometimes confused with False Rue Anemone which only has 5 petals.

Rue Anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides

Last but not least. This is one of the eight members of the Bitter-Cress family that blooms in Tennessee.

Purple Cress (Cardamine douglassii)
