Early Spring Wildflowers -- The Sequel

I revisited some of the places where I recorded Early Spring Wildflowers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKQ4orn7o-g about a week previously. Some of the same plants are shown, along with several new ones that popped up in the intervening time.

Here's a list of the featured plants, in video order:

1. Money plant (lunaria annua)
2. Dog violet (viola conspersa)
3. Garlic mustard (alliaria officinalis/alliaria petiolata)
4. Trout lily (erythronium americanum)
5. Northern bog violet (viola nephrophylla)
6. White trout lily (erythronium albidum)
7. Mayapple (podophyllum peltatum)
8. Narrow-leafed spring beauty (claytonia virginica)
9. Wood anemone (anemone quinquefolia)


The music track is Dark Circles by Bela Fleck.

Another pretty video with great music! What are those little white flowers near the end?

[seaottersoup]

@AnnaHeartsTheWorld Those are wood anemones. I just put a list of the ones I can identify in the video description.

This cheered me up so much today. TY! Beautiful flowers and my fave blue also..Butterfly..ephemeral (sp?) goodbye, fly away. great video, as always!

[seaottersoup]

@5jeanbittersweet You're welcome! I'd like to get more butterfly footage, but they're kind of uncooperative, at least compared to wildflowers. Maybe I could record them in someone's garden...

@knotasidechannel Hahah -- It won't happen for the next video, because I'll have to listen to some of their music first. You may have to be patient -- remember how long it took me to record a goose pooping...

[seaottersoup]

@maniacalmike Thanks! I think you're right on both counts, so I'll update the information in the description. I bought a couple of weed and wildflower guides yesterday, and those, along with web searches, have convinced me. The stems on the first one do seem too hairy, but the plant wasn't that tall yet, so the hairs may space out as it grows. That's my theory anyway...

[maniacalmike]

@seaottersoup Is #1 Lunaria annua? It looks like a mustard, and that one naturalizes well. The stems on yours are rather hairy, though. #3 looks like another mustard, maybe Alliaria petiolata/officinalis?

[seaottersoup]

@knotasidechannel Thanks! But how quickly you forget the pooping goose.

Maybe one day a toad will make an appearance in one of my videos...

@maniacalmike Thanks -- one of my goals was to lift spirits.

[maniacalmike]

Better and better. Great way to raise the spirits.
