I was really glad to be able to make it back to Wildwood Park with my camera before the Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) stopped blooming. The latin name means double-spurred, and hooded respectively. The hillside is covered with Dutchman's breeches, Perfoliate Bellwort (Uvularia perfoliata), Wild Ginger (Asarum canadense), Spring Larkspur (Delphinium tricorne) Toothwort (Dentaria sp.), and Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica). There are even some trillium blooming on a rocky outcropping at the top. It's really amazing.
