Mayapples are piercing the leaf-litter and spreading their umbrellas over the forest-floor in the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

So THAT’S what they’re called! I saw them everywhere last weekend when walking through a local nature preserve.
Beautiful image, D. The sky is especially yummy on this one.

Our mayapples have spread their umbrellas too, but only the slightest evidence of the bud. Maybe another week for a flower – it’s been cool.

What a fitting name for this photo. I’ve never seen this plant, that I can recall.
The plant adds a wonderful color to the scene!
