There are so many wild flowers in the woods. I never knew until I started to look. Some are protected of course and should not be moved.
The forget me nots need quite a bit of water. I moved some to an area by our walking path and they did very well. Marsh marigolds are also nice, but need water.
The pink lady slippers are protected, but can be moved if you own the property. Wintergreen is also nice, as well as false lilly of the valley. We have a large parcel of woods here and the wildflowers are one of my passions. A couple of wildflowers are done blooming already, but prime viewing in end of May.
This is purple polygala. It is blooming all over right now and is one of my favorites.
