Add common chickweed to Hepatica and Harbinger of Spring as the wildflowers in bloom in this late-starting season at The Pocket on Pigeon Mountain.  There is a lot of foliage pushing up, including the start of baby leaves of Trout Lily.  A huge area of beautiful Hepatica are blooming along the base of the bluff above the horse trail.
