(Photo) Spring beauty wildflower
One of the first wildflowers to emerge on forest beds is the
spring beauty
, scientific name
Claytonia virginica
.
It's survives the winter through its bulbous
corm
, the spring beauty's roots are edible and they were a food source for Native Americans.
This flower was photographed last month in Morton Grove's Linne Woods.
