Three flavors of Trilliums and other flowers

 The Trout Lily's are finally up and about

This Bloodroot was smart enough to not come out until now many others bloomed and were frozen the next day

 The Purple Trillium

 The Green Trillium

And finally the Large White Trillium

Sunny day, but cool

 Short winged Blister Beetle named because the leg joints exude a blister causing agent.

The first Trout Lily of the year.

Trillium

 The Trillium are still coming way early but the cold, freezing weather is play havoc with them.

This is the first white trillium I have seen which is odd because they usually are the most prevalent with only a few Purple ones.  I think this is a  Trillium grandiflorum, but it does not look so grand.  I think the flowers will be small because of the freezing nights

 Brown Headed Cowbirds- He: you never keep quite   She:  Oh, shut up.

 The Trillium are have a very rough time. Snow is not a friend

This bloomed forth but to what avail?
