WOW

Brush Creek has came to life. I was there six days ago and not one flower petal was spotted. Today, the Hepatica have reached full bloom, in many variations of color. Trillium have just begun to open with a dozen or so Large Flowering and Red Trillium in bloom. In just a few more days it will be hundreds. I stopped by Camp Creek for a few minutes as well and saw the Bloodroot, Cut-Leaf Toothwort and the flower in the last picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so many pictures follow. There are a few unknown that I will label as I I.D. them. All help is appreciated.
#12 Hepatica-White, Blue, Lavender, 

Various Colors Together

WOW
Six Sepals and Twelve Sepals on Same Plant 
These Hepatica Blooms Were the Size of a Quarter


#13 Spicebush


#14 Long Spurred Violet


#15 Red Trillium

#16 ???




#17- Broad-Leaved Sedge






#18- Early Saxifrage



#19- Cut Leaf Toothwort



I thought this was another Hepatica until I got closer. Under the flower is two small leaves and a flower bud in the center of each leaf. 

#20- Rue Anemone

  1. I believe your #16 might be something called Golden Alexander or Zizia aurea. -- Jim Fowler

  2. After going to back to Brush Creek and seeing this plant now taller, it seems to be what Jim suggested, Golden Alexander
