Flower Pr0n! Ephemeral Spring Flowers!
It’s been awhile, but the weather is weird and the world is weird, so have some flowers.
I am low-key obsessed with trout lilies (Erythronium americanum)
They’re fascinating, ephemeral plants.
And old. Zack Fowler says the colony at the arboretum is several hundred years old.
Wood Anemone (Anemonoides quinquefolia) which I wish had another common name, since I always stumble over Anemone.
Spring Beauties! (Claytonia caroliniana)
Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)
These covered some of the hills we drove by, so I had to stop to verify they were bloodroot. We also saw lots of white trillium along the roadside, but none were anywhere safe to stop.
This picture looks boring and empty, but that greenery covering the forest floor?
Ramps!

Sunday Flower Pr0n: Maine-ly Rhododendrons
When I said that Maine seemed to have a thing about Rhododendrons, I wasn’t kidding. This was an entire garden dedicated to them.
This is actually a common wild Rhododendron, which I had never seen before.
This counts as a tree frog, right?

Sunday Flower P0rn: Maine-ly Flowers
These were taken at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens at the end of May.
I’ve not seen a red bleeding heart around here!
Rhododendron was surprisingly popular in Maine.
They had a fairy garden section, which was cute.
But mostly I just liked the rocks.

Spring Flower Pr0n
I’m trying to post more frequently here.
Not a lot of success, but I’m trying.
So as your reward, here is some flower pr0n from the Arboretum!
I never see a lot of bloodroot flowers, so I’m generally excited when I spot one.
Just a couple of delphiniums were up
Lots and lots of trillium, including this weirdo!
Early bluebells are up, but nowhere near peak yet.
Lots and lot of spring beauties
Some trout lilies!
Chickweed!
And downtown, some cherry blossoms

Sunday Flower Pr0n: Mountain Laurel
I GOT TO GO TO THE WOODS YESTERDAY!
Why is this exciting? Because it’s been five weeks already since I broke my foot, and since the weather was lovely, I put on my foot, grabbed my crutches, and we took a short hike at Coopers Rock.
It was LOVELY to be in the forest. Especially since one of my favorite flowers was on display.

Flowers and Lights
Wednesday I was lucky enough to get to go to the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens for the light show.
Yeah, there was flower pr0n galore, but the lights were really wonderful.
I took a few more pictures, which you can see if you click through to Flickr.
