Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum) gets its name from the pale spots on young leaves—like splashes of water. These markings fade as the season progresses. I found these striking examples in a nearby wooded area earlier this spring.

Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum) forms large colonies in woodlands and adapts well to gardens. Its flowers range from white to purple, and early-season leaves show pale spots—like water stains, which fade over time.

The Jack-in-the-pulpits are out! Arisaema triphyllum is a perennial wildflower native to parts of the Midwest and eastern North America. It grows best in shaded, moist woodland habitats. In spring, it produces male or female flowers (depending on energy reserves); the berries ripen in late summer, turning bright red.

And in the local wood, Wood Anemones. 2 from an old-established clump of about 30. There was a solitary one about 100 yards away, which is a good sign. Perhaps it will spread - they spread incredibly slowly.
