Spring beauty with bee Virginia Spring Beauty - Claytonia virginica
These were just barely started on 5 March 2024.
With pollinator--does not appear to be the Spring Beauty Andrenid (Andrena erigeniae), but I am not sure.

Leaf hider Putty Root - Aplectrum hyemale
Foliage present mostly in winter and early spring, like the much more common Cranefly Orchid, Tipularia discolor. I cannot recall seeing so many Aplectrum in a clump like this previously.

A botanist friend of mine has seen it blooming in the Triangle area as early as Christmas!
