Now that the trees have mostly leafed out, many of the
spring ephemeral flowers have finished blooming. Wild geraniums (Geranium maculatum) mark the bridge
between spring and summer as their pinkish-purplish flowers color the forest
floor. These plants love to grow in forests and fields, and since they do so
well next to their cousins the garden geraniums, many native plant nurseries
have them available for gardens too. When these flowers are done blooming, keep
an eye out for long, slender seed pods which will eventually burst open to
scatter the seeds.
