Wow! Great series of photos, Tindo. Love the orchids and the Viola sororia (incredible color), the Jack-in-the-Pulpit and the Trilliums especially. Haven't seen a JitP in years and years.

Some more, though not as exciting, mid spring flowers.
1) I'm thinking this is either sycamore maple or a red variety of norway maple.
2)Ilex opaca, American Holly
3, 4)Cercis canadensis, Red bud
5)Jack in the pulpit found right here in New York City, Arisaema triphyllum
6)Pin Oak, Quercus palustris
7) Some kind of grass or sedge, I don't know.
8,9) I have no clue what this bush is, but I'll get it later when it leafs out.

Nice photos, Tindo, but that photo of the red maple is a real prize-winner. Superb work.

Thanks Rob, I liked that one too.
Here are some more.
1,2) This is some kind of lily growing wild in a local park and along a small stretch of the Long Island Expressway. Can't find it in any of my books. If anyone knows, please tell me. --> Update, it is Ornithogalum nutans, Silver Belled Star-of-Bethlehem
3,4) Another little bell flowered NOID growing wild at the edge of a forested park. Obviously an escaped ornamental garden plant. Right??? Anyone know what this is???
5) Jet Bead, Rhodotypos scandens

Ranunculus arbotivus also known as
early woodbuttercup

The silvery white lilly in post 85 is Ornithogalum nutans.
So now I guess we approaching late middle spring.
Here is a tiny sample of some of the stuff thats in bloom now.
Two varieties of the Horse chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum. Both very big trees.
The Azalea Rhododendrons are out in force. The New York Botanical Gardens now has an in full bloom Azalea garden. The picture only shows the outside of the garden.
Me pointing out the flowers of Davidia involucrata, the Handkerchief tree.
Muscari latifolium, with a honey bee, very nice to see these.
Two pics of a couple of NOID's in the New York Botanical garden rock garden. I forgot to take pics of the labels.
Last picture is of Pulmonaria angustifolia, blue lungwort, Quote from Wiki -->"The scientific name Pulmonaria is derived from Latin pulmo (the lung). In the times of sympathetic magic, the spotted oval leaves of P. officinalis were thought to symbolize diseased, ulcerated lungs, and so were used to treat pulmonary infections."
