Indiana - zone 5 in the woods.

?? I have no clue what plant this leaf goes with... This is the only variation of it that I have.
When I snapped the shot I was thinking it might be a form of bloodroot, but I haven't found anything similar yet.



Since it's popping up in a circle like this I'm thinking it grows from a rhizome maybe?

Round-lobed Hepatica
Anemone americana

Well. How pretty is that!?!

Okay, Lee Anne. Give over - how did you track that one down?

[I'm marking all of these wonderfully new (to me) plants on a map so that I can hopefully catch them in bloom! ]

I'm loving this!

Thanks, again!

Fine then. Keep some of your secrets....just means I'll keep bugging you more!



[Yeah, I like the smilies. ]

yup...if I show you my secret you won't need me anymore

OK it's something you can show. hmmm.

We'd still need you.... ......there's always more to learn!

Keeping some secrets is cool though, makes things more interesting.

One of my favourite sites for ID's:
http://www.ontariowildflowers....

If they don't have it I just google Indiana wildflowers :))

Yep. I've been all over that site too. You just utilize it better.

I've seen it here when hunting Morels.
Never seen it flowering though.
LOVELY!
I'll add it to the rescues we do.

Someone more familiar w/ it needs to fill in the blanks.

I've just been given the name of a local fella that's supposed to know a bit about (as near as possible) all of the local flora in our area. I hope to be able to chat with him soon and perhaps find out fairly precise bloom times for some of these that I've also never caught during their ofttimes very short flowering seasons. I'm pretty excited about it!

EXCELLENT!
