Flower

A white flower of unknown origin. I think it belongs to that triplet of leaves right next to it, not to the wild grape growing directly behind it or the monocot in front of it. Maybe Fragaria sp.?

Nodding flowers

Flowers with too many stamens at Rockwood Park in May 2015. They're really hard to ID because I didn't get a good enough picture of the leaves.

White inflorescence

A bunch of white flowers at Rockwood Park in May 2015. Not sure about the ID!

Sporophytes

A species of moss with a very tall sporophyte generation. They have a little capsule at the top for dumping spores out. The green moss we all know and love is the gametophyte generation. Let's all read up on the moss life cycle.

Maple flowers

A maple tree that made flowers before it made leaves in early spring 2015 at Midlothian Mines Park.

Oak sapling gall (Cynipidae)

At Bryan Park in May 2015, there were a couple of these things on the end of some low-to-the-ground little oak saplings. They were kind of horrifying. They turned out to be galls. There's larvae in there.

This type of gall is made by a wool sower wasp (Callirhytis seminator).

Solomon's Seal (Liliaceae)

A lily-looking plant with flowers that hang down under the leaves at Rockwood Park in May 2015. I think it's Polygonatum sp., either Smooth Solomon's Seal or Hairy Solomon's Seal.

Dayflower (Commelinaceae)

A dayflower at Belle Isle in fall 2014. I think it's either Commelina erecta (native) or Commelina communis (introduced).

Alder

An alder tree at Midlothian Mines Park with male (yellow) and female (dark) catkins in early spring 2014

Toad

Very Tiny toad.

Alien Plant

Very cool looking plant!  I think it might be a fern unfurling.
This was very recently taken at Rockwood park.
