| May 19 Starflower (Trientalis borealis) is another very common and widespread wildflower in our woods. Since I've been paying more attention to the sequence of blooms this year, I notice that the little white starflowers will take the place of the little white goldthread blossoms on the floor of the woods. The leaves are whorled around the stem making a circle about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. The flowers are about 3/4 inch across. |  |
