The trout lilies are in bloom again.

Such a strange flower...

Meanwhile, at Meade's, "I once got lost, but now I'm found...."

It's a native flower, so perhaps indians took it.; 4/26/14, 1:57 PM

At my parents farm they have wood lillies, jack in the paupers and some other really interesting flower that has like a jacket on top of the bloom.

Wood lillies are also called trilliums. My parents farm have thousands of them but you are not supposed to pick them.

There is another flower that has like 4 or 5 "pillows" on each side, it is white, not sure what it is called but they grow wild on my parents farm too.

Trout lilies that is.

Wood lillies are also called trilliums.

Purple trilliums are always the first up. Mayapples have just come up. With a little more rain we'll start looking for morels near the river.; 4/26/14, 5:13 PM
