Die Flora von Falkecape (a sidebar)

Trillium
If you recall, I encountered these on our hike last weekend up Angel's Rest.
Helen says they're Trillium and I, for one, believe her.
There were a few near the trailhead that were even a deeper shade of purple but I neglected to get a photo of those.


Um... Daisies?


A patch of some other flower.


Colt's Foot
Hard to see from this picture but these are yellow and very leafy. From a distance they might even look like tulips but they are not tulips. Their base looks almost cabbagy in nature and this patch of them is thriving in a squishy, mucky, mud bog that we walked through... twice.
