Description
Spring beauties are small low-growing wildflowers that are found in a star-like cluster of five white to light pink flowers.
One reason for why the spring beauty is so common is its ability to survive in areas that have suffered land degradation such as livestock grazing and partial tree removal. Many other native woodland wildflowers don’t fare as well under these conditions. The spring beauty however, can thrive in yards with just a few trees present and be quite prolific. When spring beauties and other wildflowers are absent from woodlands, this is a sure sign of severe degradation from plows or bulldozers in the past.

I love spring wildflowers against the earthen tones of the leaf cover on the forest floor.

Looks just like blue hepatica! Beautiful shot Mary! L
Mary Machare replied:
It is indeed related to the European Hepatica. Hepatica·has also been called Noble Liverwort, Round-lobed Liverleaf, Kidney-leaf, Squirrel Cup, Mouse Ears, Spring Beauty (more frequently used for the genus Claytonia), Crystal wort, Golden Trefoil (more frequently used for a small, yellow, leguminous flower), Ivy Flower and Herb Trinity.
