Flowers at Bluebell Island

Bluebell Island is the name we've given to this small island in Seneca Creek because for a week each spring it comes to life, covered with Virginia Bluebells (
Mertensia virginica). In addition to the bluebells, there are trout lilies (
Erythronium americanum), cutleaf toothwort (
Cardamine concatenata), garlic mustard (
Alliaria officinalis), Gill-over-the-ground (
Glechoma hederacea), and some other flowers that I need to get identified.
Some of these pictures suffer from a problem I was having with my camera. There was significant grim on the image sensor and it shows up, particularly in the ultra-close-ups. Those black dots and specks can be cleaned up but I didn't bother with the images here. I will for any that I decide to use anywhere else.
