| I met a group exploring native plants at Jay Cooke State Park today. This is blood root. If you dig it up and squeeze the root a red liquid comes out and it will stain your fingers. |
 |
| We saw lots of yellow trout lily. The woods were loaded with them. |
 |
| We also saw loads of white trout lily. |
 |
| Besides the flowers the woods were loaded with ramps. I don't think we're allowed to forage ramps in a state park. |
 |
| Another yellow trout lily. |
 |
| This is wild ginger. The flower is reddish looking and down on the ground instead of up in the air like most flowers. This plant must use beetles or ants as pollinators. |
 |
| Scarlet cup mushroom. |
 |
| Large flowered bellwort |
 |
| Marsh marigold flowers are on the verge of opening. |
 |
| Hepatica. |
 |
| Dwarf ginseng cannot be used for medicinal purposes like the other ginseng. |
