Pink Root © 2021 Patty Hankins
Pink Root (Spigelia marilandica), also known as Indian Pink and Woodland Pinkroot, is a late spring into early summer blooming wildflower here in the DC area. The distinctive red and yellow flowers stand out in the woods, or in a garden. Pink Root is native to much of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States And if you are hoping to see hummingbirds in the garden, be sure to check out where the Pink Root is growing – hummingbirds love it!
I photographed this Pink Root at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland

Dutchman’s Breeches © 2021 Patty Hankins
Dutchman’s Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) are a wonderful spring wildflower. They bloom here in the woods here n the DC area in March and April, at roughly the same time as the Spring Beauty blooms, and shortly before the Virginia Bluebells open up. They are easy to spot – just look for the soft frilly leaves with a stalk with white and yellow flowers sticking up. The flowers are pantaloon shaped, reminiscent of traditional Dutch men’s trousers – hence the name Dutchman’s Breeches. They are native to much of the Eastern United States, and the Pacific Northwest. So next spring, keep an eye out for Dutchman’s Breeches as you walk in the wood enjoying the spring wildflowers.
I photographed these Dutchman’s Breeches at Jenkins Arboretum and Gardens in Devon, Pennsylvania

White Trillium © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – White trillium – trillium grandiflorum – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
The White Trillium (trillium grandiflorum) are one of the earliest trilliums to bloom in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee each spring. Which means most years – they’ve finished blooming by the time I get there in mid-April. This year, I finally got to photograph some amazing white trillium. I photographed this beautiful trillium in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest in the mountains of North Carolina.
This photograph is available as a 10 X 10″ or 20 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order White trillium – trillium grandiflorum from my website.

Bent Trillium © 2012 Patty Hankins
Trilliums are some of my favorite spring wildflowers. I’m always on the lookout for new-to-me varieties to photograph – and to photograph favorite varieties in new ways. Last spring, I found several Bent Trillium (Trillium flexipes) to photograph at the Crockford Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area in North Georgia. I’d heard about Pigeon Mountain from Gerry Williamson (@USWildflowers on Twitter). It’s a wonderful place to visit (and photograph). This was my favorite photo of the Bent Trillium that I took that morning.

Texas Paintbrush © 2011 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Texas Paintbrush – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
I first photograph a member of the Paintbrush family of wildflowers several years ago on the Blue Ridge Parkway – I only found it once – and have never been able to identify what species it was. Since then I’ve photographed members of this family in several other locations – including Colorado and in Glacier National Park. This past May, I found some wonderful bright orange-red Texas Paintbrush (castilleja indivisa) north of Dallas. I love the colors and shapes of the various members of paintbrush family. I’m always on the lookout for ones I haven’t seen.
This photograph is available as either at 10 X 10″ or 20 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Texas Paintbrush from my website.
