Have you looked in your woods lately?
If you are lucky enough to live near shady, wet soil, you may have seen some of the plants in this post.

This is the second post of the shade garden tour I took part in the other day on my side of Harford County (Churchville area).  Tons of trillium, ferns, ivy, may apples, and other plants I am both acquainted and unfamiliar with.  Our host was informative and the tour was educational, but of course I am going to need a hand in captioning these pics as there are only so many plants I can remember at a given time.  =)
