A discovery yesterday. Mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum) are just beginning to emerge from the soil. As one might expect given the lack of winter, they’re a bit early. I’m totally pleased to see them, early or not.

In the past I would expect to see this swath of umbrella-like leaves at the beginning of May.

These flowers too, at the beginning of May. But who knows what this coming season will bring and when. We shall see.
