Just in time for bloom day, the past weekend in Western Massachusetts was the peak of our spring. Tulips, daffodils, apple trees, cherry trees, forsythia, and lilacs scented the air and colored the landscape.
Here’s a look at the yards, forests, and landscapes surrounding us.

Re: Leanne's unnamed spring wildflowers, the small bleeding heart-like white flowers with the frilly leaves are Squirrel Corn. The nodding yellow bell-shaped flowers in the photo with the red trillium are bellworts, and the plant with the small whitish-pink bells is Solomon Seal
Thank you to Ilona for identify some of the forest flowers. I updated the post by adding the names to the picture captions. There is still one unidentified blossom. Does anyone know what it is?
