New Life


I love to watch the new life come up in the spring.  I am so glad to see the greenness after a long, cold, and snowy winter.  This was especially true for this spring.  So I gathered my camera, my dog, and my husband (with his camera too) and headed out to capture some of spring's growth.  It as also a good time for me to brush up on some of my field botany as I hope to be teaching a botany class in the fall.

Trillium grandiflorum

Trillium erectum

Podophyllum peltatum - May Apple or May Flower

The identification of this one still eludes me.  I will keep researching.  All I can say is that it is low to the ground and found sharing soil with some wild strawberries.
