    Yesterday I went along with a group from our Local Fish & Game Club, on a Spring Flower Hike. I photographed many different flowers, of which I have 7 here. Of the 7 I think I have identified 3, and there are 4 that I can't identify. I'd like to contribute several photos to the local newspaper, and it would be a good thing if I could include a name for the flowers. So I turned to the one place I'm sure to get good answers, "The Stew" Can you help me out?

    The first 4 are Trilliums, There is an unusual Trillium here, the one with four pedals.

    These three are Marsh Marigolds, and from these on I'm in the dark.

    The scenery was worth a photo or 2

    Not sure what this is, Marsh grass? It created some pleasant patterns.

    For the unknowns:

    1. Some type of Flax - Linum usitatissimum, perhaps?

    2. No idea - was thinking some type of Hypericum, but the flowers are a little small.

    3. Some species of Anemone.

    4. Dicentra exima - white fernleaf bleeding heart.

    First one after the Marigolds is a Carolina Spring Beauty (Claytonia caroliniana), second is a buttercup possibly Ranunculus arbortivius, but I need the whole plant for that one, I agree with IBinsanity for the third one, and the fourth is Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria). :D
