More macro spring

Here’s two more photos from my macro signs of spring. I have no idea what types of plants these are. I’m terrible at identifying plants.

As a child I remember my mother, my grandmother and my aunts all being able to give the proper names for every plant they came across–especially any type of flowering plant. Their visits with one another always included slow walks through each others flower gardens, sharing new plants and information.

That ability didn’t take with me–I wish it had. I struggle with plant identification.

If anyone has an easy way to identify wild plants, please share. :-)
