The first one has to be Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria). I don't know what the second one is. The are all beautiful. :cool:

Thanks Pat, they are everywhere! Lots of trillium too, not blooming thou. Also some kind of pink thing coming from burgundy like tufts of grass. Woodlands are curious places.

Number three looks like Anemonella thalictroides.

Thanks Doris and Oed, I knew #3 I brought that one with me. I thought I lost the pink one, maybe I did. This one is 2 plants, and they start out pink and turn to white.

#2 looks like a cardamine. Don't know the common name for it.
