Today Bunchberry was starting to open flowers. The whitish 'petals' are actually bracts. The tiny greenish-yellow flowers are in the center. Bunchberry is in the Dogwood family.
And an American Copper butterfly was taking advantage of the abundant strawberry flowers. Another name for the butterfly is The Flame Copper. Its host plants are Sheep Sorrell and Curly Dock.
