#rue anemone

[geopsych]

Went looking for wildflowers while I was at the lake and I was not disappointed. The first 4 pictures are of rue anemone. I saw many thousands carpeting whole sections! What you see in those wider shots but more and more of it. Amazing. Trout lilies grew among them but are just starting to bloom. Back in the thicker woods I saw some dwarf ginseng, most of them still in bud, and in the thick moss along the road just a few bluets were opening up.

Wood anemones were only in bud. Pink lady slippers are just sprouts a few inches out of the ground. It was so good to be back among those friends again. I always wonder if I’ll make it to this time of year and now here we are! \o/

I haven't seen these in years! A bunch came up in my backyard. The whippoorwills are back tonight too. Isn't that something?

A couple pictures I took in early spring of the lovely rue anemone.

A windstorm blew through the area the next day, so it’s a good thing I got the photos when I did.

False Rue Anemone

Small and obscure, this Anemone seems to fly under the radar. If not for its abundance it would be mostly neglected when compared to the colorful and showy spring wildflowers. This spring ephemeral performs a job and does it well, which if studied should appeal to the common man.

You know it’s my time of year when the rue anemones and the wood anemones hold up their beauty for the world (well they mean it for insects) to see! It’s official: I made it to another spring!
