Went for a walk by the creek to get out of the house!

Here we have Dutchman's Breeches, Spring Beauty, wood violet, wild blue phlox, bloodroot (not in bloom just yet, at least not this one) and a white trout lily, the first one I have personally ever found! It was beautiful and much needed.

Spring Woodland Flowers of Illinois poster by Robert F. Eschenfeldt (1930-2005)

I'm slowly collecting these gorgeous posters from the 70s/80s that the Department of Natural Resources put out. I've had luck with nature centers digging in their back closets

Trillium viride

Endemic to east-central Missouri and south-west Illinois, this trillium species can be found growing in woods with rich soils and on rocky slopes. It blooms in mid to late spring and there are lookalike trilliums; however, T. viride has a characteristic unique only to it - tiny, yet visible stomata that look like white dots all over the top of its leaves.
