Spring beauty (Claytonia carolineana)

One of my favourites of the early spring woodland flowers, as it is so perkily bright and cheery with its candy stripe colouring. They flower for only a very short period and then vanish entirely. One of the group called "spring ephemerals" for good reason!

One of my favorite spring flowers. So tiny you almost miss them. Fabulous macro, detail and color. V.

Terrific find and shot. I don't think I've ever seen these in the woodlands around here.
