I suspect she had a nest nearby)

Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
What a pretty walk! Things are just beginning to bloom here; our cold snap set things back a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe ground cover is Creeping Jenny; it's very common here.
Hi Suzi, thanks, the one with the thread like juniper shaped leaves is creeping jenny, I thought creeping jenny is a vine with round leaves? We are having some nice Spring weather here and no late frost thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. There sure is a great variety of plants over there.
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi, thanks, and most of them are easily overlooked unless you look closely.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved ferns, ivy, and moss covered rocks! That 'unusual' ground cover may be some sort of fern?... but I haven't any idea what it is.
ReplyDeleteHi Rian, thanks, I should have picked a bit of it to see the texture and the leaf construction. I will do a bit of research to see what I come up with.
ReplyDeleteThe ground cover looks like southern ground cedar - Diphasiastrum digitatum. The heart shaped leaves above it look like wild ginger - Asarum canadense.
ReplyDeleteHi Unknown, thanks so much, ground cedar - so beautiful and wild ginger - so much beauty in nature.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful walk...I always get excited to see trilliums...actually I get excited whenever I see any wild flowers:)
ReplyDeleteHi Charlene, thanks, oh I was in heaven discovering all the wonderful plants and then to learn here what some of them are, even better.
