Incipient ephemerals
Facebook tells me that I've photographed blooming trilliums in our woods at this time of year in the past, but this year it looks like spring ephemerals are arriving a little late. Our woods at home are currently abloom with hepatica and spring beauties, while the woods at Lake Katharine reveal just a few tiny Dutchman's breeches blossoms. But it's really exciting to see what's on the way: tons of trout-lily leaves popping up in wet spots and wide swaths of blue cohosh and bluebells just getting ready to burst their buds. Trilliums are coming--I can feel it in my bones--but for now we'll enjoy the incipient ephemerals and eagerly await their glory.
