We are pleased to announce the winner of last week’s Monday Nature Mystery, Elise Larsen! PJ and Judy won too recently to claim another prize.
Congratulations to Elise for identifying the Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia).

According to Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia, this plant, also known as Heart-leaved Foamflower, looks as wonderful as a ground cover in shady locations as it does in a container on a patio or balcony. The plant’s tiny, star-shaped flowers and fine-textured stamens resemble foam, accounting for its common name. Make sure you check out some of the many upcoming native plant sales to look for this and other native plants.
Each Monday we’ll post a new mystery and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag.
Here is this week’s mystery:
Who is this? Can you tell by just the beak?
