Star of Bethlehem - Ornithogalum umbellatum. It grows in clumps with hollow, dark-green leaves. Easily confused with wild garlic, but lacks a distinctive odor. It blooms in April to mid June.
Golden Ragwort - Packera aurea - Aster family (Asteraceae). This is a perennial wildflower and blooms from mid to late spring and lasts for about three weeks. 
The Northern Dewberry, Common Dewberry - Rubus flagellaris. It is part of the rose family and its most active growth is from mid-spring to early summer.
Buttercup - Ranunculus species. Most bloom spring through to Fall, with some lasting until frost.
Virginia Waterleaf - Hydrophyllum virginianum. It is native to Virginia. A perennial herb commonly found in moist, wooded areas of eastern North America, including Virginia. Its young leaves and shoots are edible and were traditinally used by the Shawnee and other Native American tribes as a potherb or in salads. The leaves are typically eaten cooked, but can also be enjoyed raw when young, which is why they were used for a ‘salad'.
Sweet White Violet - Viola blanda. It has fragrant white flowers and blooms from April until the end of summer. Prefers damp woods and moist meadows.
Daisy Fleabane - Erigeron annuus
Beautiful, Denise. Thank you 😊 for sharing, dear friend 🧡
ReplyDeleteHello to you too dear friend :) Thank you and you are very welcome
DeleteI do love the Buttercup and Violet the best. You got such beautiful closeups!
ReplyDeleteThey are extremely pretty Ginny :) Thank you, sometimes things line up for taking photos.
DeleteLovely flowers! Mom loves to pick blueberries & dewberries, but she usually ends with chiggers! 😹 Kit, Kat, Rocky & Cali
ReplyDeleteHello Kit, Kat, Rocky & Cali :) Thank you! I would love to be able to pick blueberries and dewberries. I used to pick dewberries off the hedgerows when I was very young (assuming these are the same kind of wild blackberries that I read about). Oh dear on those chiggers!
DeleteThese are lovely, Denise, it always surprises me to see such flowers, nature is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret :) I00 percent agree with you. Nature is amazing!
DeleteBeautiful flowers and images! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen and you too :)
DeleteLovely selection of wild flowers. I particularly like the Virginia Waterleaf's delicate construction.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice and I agree, the Virginia Waterleaf is very delicate :)
DeleteThank you for this lovely collection of fine wildflowers, all very nicely photographed.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome David, so glad you enjoyed them :)
DeleteSome of those I've seen and some are new to me. I like them all.
ReplyDeleteThat’s great Ann, happy you liked them :)
DeleteThese are lovely Denise. The insects must love them too :-D
ReplyDeleteHappy you thought so Ananka, and thank you. I am sure they do :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful collection of spring wildflowers, each with its own unique character and history in both nature and human use
ReplyDeleteI am always delighted to find out such things. Thanks you Roentare :)
DeleteThese photos are lovely. It's so nice to see a collection of wildflowers, and the details you've included for each one are really interesting. I especially liked learning that the young leaves of the Virginia Waterleaf are edible and were used by Native American tribes. Where I come from we have a similar leaf that is called waterleaf and it's edible. We use it for a soup called waterleaf soup; it's so rich and delicious. I've just published a new post on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHello Melody, happy you enjoyed them and especially found the Virginia Waterleaf interesting. I also enjoy learning their history, etc. How interesting that you have something similar and that you have a Waterleaf salad. Very enjoyable to know that. Thanks for sharing! I look forward to reading your new blog post :)
DeleteHow pretty! The daisy is my favourite though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie :) Daisies back in my childhood were a favorite to pick and I love them to this day.
DeleteYou found some pretty wildflowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I always find it fun finding wildflowers. These were found some time ago in various areas. I should have added that :)
DeleteFavorite topic, wildflowers and their names. We don't seem to get buttercups here, plenty of lesser celandine which is similar. And no scented violets that I've ever found, but plenty of the dog kind. Also fleabane galore.
ReplyDeleteThat’s interesting Boud, thanks for sharing that :)
DeleteBeautiful flowers. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne, so glad you enjoyed. You have a nice day also :)
DeleteThe daisy, in particular, looks so delicate....and perfect. Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThey are as you say Andrea :) Thank you so much and love to you too xoxo.
DeleteWonderful flowers and information, too, Denise!
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed Ellen, thank you :)
DeleteLovely flowers. I don't know if I've actually ever seen them in person.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra, I am always happy to discover new (to me) flowers :)
DeleteI don't attempt to control what grows in our lawn and have found many small flowers of various plants there over time. This time of year there's a yellow flower on a tall stock that resembles a dandelion but it's not one of those. I should pull out the wildflower book and look it up. You've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI once went to a botanical garden where there were thousands upon thousands of purple violets growing on their lawns. It was a magnificent sight :) Always fun to pull out the wildflower book. I am glad I have inspired you and thank you for sharing that Marcia.
DeleteEach and everyone beautiful your pictures are so crisp too
ReplyDeleteLoved the bright yellow it was the color of the Male Goldfinch I had at my feeder this morning.
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you Cecilia, These were taken when I had a steadier hand so am glad I have these. I love it when the goldfinches visit. They have started coming back recently. Even though I am not feeding them yet, we have been getting hundreds of little whirlybirds dropping and they are eating the seeds :) sending hugs!
DeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteSon muy vistosas esas fotos silvestres. Me encanta.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Muchas gracias. Me alegro mucho de que te gusten. Abrazos :)
DeleteMany thanks for showing these wild flowers and providing the additional information.
ReplyDeleteThinking about flowers and wildlife, visiting a friend earlier today her Buddleia was in full bloom and had quite a few beautiful butterflies on it ... I thought afterwards I should have taken some photographs!
Happy midweek wishes.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan and you are very welcome :) I expect your friend’s Busdleia looked magnificent, but I have also seen interesting things and later have said I should have taken a photo of that but didn’t. I think most of us have said the same thing. All the best to you too my dear friend, and I would also like to wish you Happy midweek wishes.
DeleteThat delicate Virginia bloom is very pretty. I also love buttercups. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy you thought so and you are very welcome. I have always been a fan of buttercups too :)
DeleteThank you for the lovely bouquet.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Sue and thank you :)
DeleteGreat job on the close-ups!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ivy, that means a lot :)
DeleteLindas flores. te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMe alegra que te hayan gustado. Gracias y te mando un beso :)
DeleteFunny how we have some of these but different names.
ReplyDeleteThat’s very true Red. It is why I try to remember to add the botanical name. That always stays the same :) hopefully!
