One of the most recognizable flowers in the woodlands Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are starting to bloom! Everyone can remember seeing the forest floor carpeted by bluebells for a short time. By the middle of summer there is no trace because stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) takes over the floor. Notice the tubular pinkish purple buds that open into clusters of beautiful horn-shaped blue flowers. I have also seen all white bluebells.
