The wild foamflowers (tiarella) are blooming in the woods. They can handle quite a bit of sun, but prefer a shady location where the soil will stay cooler.
Some of the leaves have blotchy maroon markings.
When they are happy, they will form quite a large patch spreading by stolons like strawberries.

I really like the "whiskers" on the white violets.

Violets whether purple or white are delightful in their shyness, peeping out from behind the more showy foliage. Lovely photos.
