Yellow Dog Tooth Violet
#67,617 This is in bloom now but probably past peak. I have heard these plants called just about everything, but the common name is Yellow Dog Tooth Violet. It is a lillie, but then that is why we need Latin names.
Rue Anemone
#67,485 This is a pink variant of the rue anemone. They are very common in Lost Valley in the Buffalo National River. It is hard to get the exposure on these flowers accurate because of contrast with a dark forest floor. I usually shoot at -1 stop or more to render the delicacy of the flower.

Trillium (Toad Shade), Lost Valley
#67,482 This is my favorite trillium, sometimes called toad shade. I like the deep burgundy petals of its flower and the compact size.
