Two yellow flowers of celandine poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) with their deeply veined leaves and fuzzy buds. The light is dappled, with some nice shadows. Last fall's leaves are visible through all the green.
A cloud of blue-eyed Marys (small white and blue flowers) among their own foliage and that of other forest plants. Part of a fallen log at upper left, and last year's leaves all around.
A small deep-yellow flower accompanied by a bud on the same plant. I think this might be a double dandelion. New spring growth and last fall's leaves slightly out of focus in the background.
"Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year."
(Robert Frost, from "A Prayer in Spring")
