Took one of my very favorite local hikes today with MK, up Razorback Ridge, across the Lost Trail, and back down Hamms Gulch. Even as it is drying out most places, under the trees and along the seeps of Windy Hill there is still plenty of moisture, and the ferns and early spring flowers are looking lush. In addition to the bee plants (some of which are being devoured by hungry caterpillars), the trilliums (T. chloropetalum) are at their peak and the Heucheras (micrantha?) are leafing out, in this case nestled in a bed of bedstraw (Galium aparine). The last photo may be notchleaf clover (Trifolium bifidum)?
