Hepatica is one of the earliest spring wildflowers to bloom in our area. It is a flower which leads me further and further into the woods, because every time I think I have found the prettiest bloom, I look up and find another one I need to photograph. Hepatica comes in a variety of colors from white to pink to lavendar to dark blue to purple. ( I could post 50 pictures!) It blooms in good numbers in the woodlands.
