In search of small beauties

Pawpaw blossoms are so tiny and inconspicuous that the only way to see them is to get up close to a pawpaw tree--but then, that's not a bad place to be. The color blends in with the surrounding brownness of the spring woods, so you won't find them unless you know where to look, and meanwhile you're bound to see other splendid things like buckeyes beginning to bloom and solomon's seal leaves curling above tiny buds. Not a bad way to spend a spring afternoon.
