This morning a few rather anemic looking Jack-in-the-Pulpit were flowering along a roadside seep with their feet in running water.

Nearby this Ranunculus - which I tentatively identified as Hooked Crowfoot - also flowered. The ranunculus clan, buttercups and crowfoot, includes about 101 species just in the northeast and north central states according to the Peterson's Field Guide! The differences are subtle!!
