woodland flowers

Shady grove blossoms

Woodland flowers are wildflowers that grow naturally in forested areas, typically blooming in early spring before the tree canopy fills in and blocks sunlight.

Bluebells, trilliums, and wood anemones are classic examples.

The term evokes delicate, shade-tolerant plants found on forest floors: We gathered woodland flowers along the trail.
