Miterwort (Mitella diphylla)


Miterwort (Mitella diphylla)
Photographed April 11.

These tiny snowflake-like flowers are worth a look with a magnifying glass, or with an exceedingly close lens (like this one on Father Pitt’s Kodak Z990). This plant was growing out of a crevice in a rock along the Trillium Trail in Fox Chapel.

For a description of the species, see the Mitella diphylla reference page.
