Hairy Bittercress (Cardamine hirsuta)


Photographed February 23.

Groundhog or no groundhog, we are having an early spring. Hairy Bittercress is one of the first wildflowers to bloom, and it is all over the place now. Here we see the basal rosette of leaves that is prominent early in the season; later the flowering stems will be longer and leafier.

For more pictures and a full description, see the Cardamine hirsuta page in our reference site.
