April showers bring mayapples

Arrived home too late last night to see what was up in the woods, so this morning I stopped to have a look. The creek is up and some tree limbs are down after some serious weekend storms, but I was most excited to see trillium and redbud blooming profusely. Mayapples are popping up and I saw some small bright white blossoms of unknown provenance near the twinleaf patch. I'd like to hike up there and take a look, but I'm not tromping up there in dress shoes. It can wait. Meanwhile, I need to attend to my desk, which is blossoming with papers needing immediate attention. Tromping into that thicket won't be much fun, but at least I don't have to change my shoes.
