Spring ephemerals have been abundant. My lunchtime stroll in our back yard revealed Juneberry, bluebells, Marsh Marigold, Strawberry, Wood Anemone, Star Flower, Nodding Trillium, and at least two as of yet unidentified varieties.

The wildflower gals of Cook County post regularly to this site about what they are spotting on their excursions. Very fun to read:  http://www.bwca.cc/wildflowers
