'The Garden in the Woods': Spring Flowers in a Curated New England Woodland

 

Three leaves on a stem, and three petals on the flower. This is a Trillium, one of the many varieties of the wildflower blooming now in "The Garden in the Woods" in Framingham, Mass. The second week of May is often peak season for the native wildflower Trillium,

I tried to catch a few of these beauties' names. Otherwise, they'll have to get along on looks alone. the plant below, with white blossoms, is "Trillium simile."

The plant below is Blue Moss Phlox. I think the photo above may show another low Phlox.

And so many other spring wildflowers in this woodland paradise I did not manage to get a photo of.

We'll just have to go back.
