Wood Betony has opened its whorls of tubular, hooded flowers. Wood Betony flowers can be red, yellow or both.
Red Baneberry's oblong clusters of white flowers lit up a bit of rich woods. Red baneberry bears bright red berries. The closely related White Baneberry bears white berries each with a black eye - thus their common name Doll's Eye.
And this nicely marked brown moth, the One-lined Zale was active last night. The larval host plant of this species is Black Locust.

  1. I love to see it all through your lens. Love the close ups of the wildflowers. Thanks. i save all your articles. In my FRIENDS file because it is such a friendly thing to do every night at ten-thirty, to send out these little packets of nature joy and name them for us.
