Oh yes. The Pink Lady's Slipper. Twenty this year, as opposed to the five or six before.
Blue Cohosh. I found a secret spot where they live ... a sea of them. There must be hundreds. Soon I'll post about that too.
Jack in the Pulpit. Show off. Mitchella; Squawvine with berries. Which I took the liberty of eating. There is a lot of Mitchella here. The very hot -n- spicy Monarda Fistulosa, before flowering.

so I think I have monarda fistulosa in my meadow too! thanks for the pic, now I'll watch for the flowers to make sure.
Hi Tammy! Yeah, watch for the flowers of course - but also taste them. The garden kind M. Didyma with the big burgundy flowers, has leaves that are aromatic and slightly like oregano. Extremely pleasant. The M. fistulosa is a shock of spice, like wasabi. I haven't worked much with the other spp. besides those two. Have fun!
