#2005-03

IDENTIFIED as Rose Twisted Stalk (Streptopus roseus)

Is this Rose Twisted Stalk? May 15/05, in the Milton area.

The leaves have fine hairs along the edges.

Looking into a flower.
The flower stalks are usually bent.
There are usually (not always) two flowers per flower stalk.
   
The whole plant. White Trilliums around the plant.
 

#2005-04
Milton area, May 15/05.

Growing in pine needles, at the forest edge.

Another view. This plant, in its present form, is only about 1-2" tall, as can be seen from the pine needles lying on the ground.

 

#2005-05

This looks like a Waterleaf, but it is unlike any I have seen. It's not Appendaged Waterleaf, and it doesn't appear to be Broadleaf Waterleaf.

May 15/05, Milton area.

There was a small patch of them.

 

#2005-06

IDENTIFIED as Sweet White Violet (Viola blanda)

Is this plant Sweet White Violet? All the features match for it, except that the books say that this species has "reddish stems". The plants I photographed did not.

Sudden Tract, May 17/05

A whole plant.

This gives an idea of the size of the flower - very small. The ruler is in inches.

Habitat. The violet is in the center of the photo. Rich woods, on a small embankment beside a trail, at the edge of the forest. Overlooking a marsh.
