Penthorum sedoides
Saxifraga virginiensis
Heuchera americana
Miterwort
(Mitella diphylla). The Miterwort is a
flower that rewards a close examination: a casual
glance would never reveal the intricate snowflake
fringes on the individual flowers. The plants begin to
bloom in April around here; they like a wooded
hillside above a stream.
Foamflower
(Tiarella cordifolia). A saxifrage that
loves the sides of rocky hills in the woods,
especially in a stream valley. It is rare around here,
but we have two distinct populations. Some forms of
this species grow leaves with deep red markings along
the veins, and those forms have been developed into
cultivated varieties with even more pronounced red
markings. Others have plain green leaves.
Hydrangea arborescens
Ribes americanum
