More spring ephemeral microphotography

I found some photos I forgot to post on Saturday.

Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) aren’t actually from Siberia, but to the southwest of it in Russia, the Caucuses, and Turkey. I wonder what kind of squill we’d have today if the Dutch had gone wild for squill in the sixteenth century instead of tulips.

Virgina bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are from Virginia—along with most of eastern North America.
