A clump of flowering comfrey.

Southern Comfrey - right there on the side of the lane.

Symphytum officinale, comfrey. Comfrey flowers are really cool, they form and open in a nautilus spiral, starting with the ones nearest the main stem. Here you can see a few open flowers and the buds to come, spiraling away successively smaller.

Sassafras albidum, white sassafras. Tiny green-yellow flowers in a panicle, with more in the background, and several new pale leaves.

Trillium erectum fma luteum. That's a tentative ID but it seems to fit what I can see here. A flower with three teardrop shaped greenish yellow petals, pointed end out, and three smaller teardrop shaped sepals, the six arranged like a six pointed star. In the center stamens and pistils over a black structure, I'm not sure what it is. In the BG, blurry leaves and light; we're looking up from near the forest floor.

Veronica chamaedrys, germander speedwell. Looking down at a patch of short stemmed plants absolutely smothered in tiny electric blue flowers.

At VanDusen Garden.

The vibrant purple of comfrey flowers attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. The plant has been used for centuries to treat wounds and inflammation. I use it in the garden to produce liquid fertilizer and compost. #comfrey #symphytum #compost #beeplant
