I haven’t seen any blooming yet around here, but the leaves are out and the “old guys” have buds.  And isn’t it timely that Marcia Bonta’s most recent blog post is all about Mayapples?  Click here!

I took both of these photos in 2008.  The flower at right was at Bergman Park in Jamestown, New York.  The leaf below was along the Beehunter Trail in Allegany State Park.

Isn’t it weird that I can remember where I took my photos.  They bring back a whole set of memories from the day.
