Every year near the end of April a local naturalist leads a kids wildflower walk. This is our third year attending (part 1)

Quick hike at Afton State Park today. Spring is still early for birds and flowers. Zeena found the smallest bloodroot flower ever!

#Huskies #Hiking #SpringEphemerals

Siberian husky Zeena sniffs at a decayed log half-buried in dried leaves on a forest floor, with a tiny flower with 8 long white petals and a cluster of yellow stamen in the middle, with a roundish leaf wrapped around the stem, growing up along the log.

My first wildflower of the year: Sagebrush buttercup (Ranunculus glabberimus)

What a wonderful little surprise. There were just a few that had popped up in this sunny patch in the park

A single green leaf mottled with brown pokes up from the dried leaf litter on a forst floor.

Welcome back, Few-Flowered Shooting Stars / Primula pauciflora! This one brings all the bumblebees to the yard, for "rumble pollination" 🥵

#NativePlants #NativePlantsPNW #Bloomscrolling #wildflowers #ShootingStars #gardening #pollinators #SpringEphemerals

Ground-level photo of shooting star wildflowers, showing a low rosette of leaves with vertical stems of hanging magenta flowers with reversed/upturned petals.

Galanthus, snowdrops in an urban streambed. An indication of a time where it was much different here. They are not native so my assumption was they were planted on a farm to beautify a backyard or something along those lines. No one would ever come down here today for recreational or practical reasons.

A large trout lily colony may be centuries old; centuries of early-spring sunshine, banked before the canopy above unfurls and released in a second, ground-level radiance.

Spring Beauties bloom on the forest floor in early spring. The flowers are only about 8mm across. We are not sure how big that makes this beetle(?) spotted inside one today, but we are going to go with "Very Smol". (Closer crop in the replies)

EDIT: Thanks to @nev and @revereche for the ID. Our little friend is some kind of Globular Springtail (Symphpleona)!

A small flower with white petals streaked with pink. A tiny insect, a beetle, maybe? Is inside the flower. They have a gold head and straight antenna.

A view from brown of some redbud branches decked out in a fancy boa of tiny pink blossoms

The adorable cleft phlox (Phlox bifida) is but one of the many beautiful wildflowers that dot our property 💜 #SpringEphemerals #wildflowers #NativePlants
