A couple more treasures from my woodland
#1 is Cypripedium pubescens
#2&3 is a different species of bluebell, Mertensia pterocarpa var yezoensis.
The same pink-in-bud opening to sky-blue flowers.
The nice blue-green foliage almost looks like a dwarf hosta.
#4 is one of my stable of chloranthus\'s. I have 3-4 different species, variants on a theme. All have big fleshy leaves w/ drooping racemes of white flowers in spring. Easy in the woodland. Not super flashy but I\'m fond of it.
