"New" Flowers

I've seen some "new" flowers this spring. The first are not new in that I've never seen them before, but rather in that I've never seen them here before. This spring, the trail up Rattlesnake Mountain is full of bluets (picture below.) This is the first spring that I have seen them there. I think that their presence is probably due to the increased sunlight reaching the forest floor after the logging last year.


The other "new" flowers are Fringed Polygala, which I saw along the nature trail. I had never seen these before, and thought that they were really beautiful. They remind me a little bit of birds in flight.
