Today Early Saxifrage is in flower. Also a single Red Trillium had opened as had a single Trout Lily, a single Myrtle and a single stem of Dutchman's Breeches all found in the warmest, most favorable micro-climate I know of.
The race is on for spring ephemerals that need to do their flowering and their photosynthesizing before the trees open their leaves! Trailing Arbutus is budded and Wild Ginger is pushing up leaves.
