A couple of days ago there were only a handful of spring beauties and no yellow violets. Now there are spring beauties everywhere and scores of yellow violets.

There used to be hundreds of trilliums, but a storm took out a lot of the canopy, one year, which killed off a lot of the wildflowers. The canopy has been recovering, and the flower population seems to be coming back in a new part of the woods.
