Some spring wildflowers are beginning to bloom. The one on the left is a native Virginia bluebell (Botanical name: Mertensia virginica) in bloom at the Tanger Bicentennial Garden, Greensboro, NC. on the "Wildflower Path". It is important to know the botanical name when identifying plants as common names can be misleading. I try to take a picture of the labeling marker when it is present in a garden to help me remember when I look on the computer or want to obtain more information about the plant. When these first start to bloom the buds are a pink color but turn to blue as they mature. I took this in the square format and would be a good photo to send on Instagram. Another wildflower on the path (image on right).was a Celandine poppy or wood poppy which is also a native woodland plant. ( Botanical name: Stylophorum diphyllum). HDR mode was on for both images which had minimal post editing--mostly sharpening in PSE 11.
