Chickweed

April 1st bike ride on the bike trail north of Star City. This is a Star Chickweed (Stellaria pubera) growing on the hillside.

It was an eventful 8-mile ride. I saw the following:

• Bloodroots
• Spring Beauties
• Squirrel Corn
• Star Chickweed
• Trout Lilies
• Trilliums
• Blue Phlox

In addition, I got to see a half-dozen or more garter snakes in a group. They must have recently come out of hibernation together. If I'd had my wits about me, I would have taken a video. :-(
