Snagged a couple more pics of early season wildflowers.
The white flowers are Whitlow Grass but I can't figure out the pink flower. It looks like phlox of some kind but I couldn't find any phlox that are this early in the spring. They are tiny, about 1/4 inch wide. Any ideas?
These are technically not flowers, but they're cool looking. Some kind of moss pod.
Can't wait to see what this one looks like when it pops open. Some kind of lily I think.

Beautiful photos! The little pink flowers kind of look like Harkness' linanthus / Harkness' flaxflower to me (Linanthus harknessii).

Thanks for the input Alex. That is too high off the ground.
Midget phlox is the closes I've found to it.

Keep your eyes open for lady bugs. This time of year is when their nests will hatch. They hatch just a little underground. If you see a few on the ground, take a closer look and if you find a nest it will all of a sudden have hundreds or thousands crawling all around. It is quite a fascinating thing to see!
