A favorite wildflower

We're very lucky to have a woods full of wildflowers and I love walking around looking for them each year. They come back and it's like seeing an old friend again. I adore the Mayapples and of course the trilliums, but I think my favorite is the marsh marigolds. They have such great foliage and cute little yellow flowers. You'd never suspect that when we get a good rain they are drowned by rushing water in our little creek. And within days they are happy and proud again.
