I love wild miniatures. Here is Cutleaf toothwort (Cardamine concatenata). I dare you to say it outloud. It is a bittercress, in the mustard family. It is also called pepper root since its tooth shaped rhizomes have a peppery taste. This is a great time of year to see them in various stages at the woodland edge.
This little perennial attracts butterflies and bees and is exceptional up close.
Cutleaf toothwort blooms
Bends with the weight of new buds
And a hungry bee
