Pussytoes and wild strawberry

These little white flowered plants are called pussytoes (Antennaria), probably either Antennaria neglecta or Antennaria plantaginifolia. The 3-leaved plant in the right side of the middle picture is wild strawberry (Fragaria virginica) These were growing in Bishop's Woods, which is at the corner of South 9th St. and Beck Lane. Bishop's Woods is a grove of pretty good sized old oak trees. Unfortunately they mow between the trees, so the forest isn't regenerating itself. But some wild things like these still grow.

These pictures were taken April 18, 2009.
