Today Golden Alexanders, Toothwort, and Smooth Yellow Violets were flowering in my neighborhood.
Yesterday - after walking parts of Black Mountain with The Nature Conservancy - I found a flourishing patch of Wood Betony in the parking area between Rice Farm Rd and the river. They are not yet in flower but will be soon. I had not previously found Wood Betony in this neighborhood so even though it's not a rare plant, it was fun to find.
Betony flowers can be either yellow or reddish-brown. They should be open within a few days!?!?

Do you know the latin name of wood betony. I would love to put a picture of it on website and see what it looks like.
