First of the May Apples

Few blooms are more beautiful than the May apples.

Yesterday the woods were full of them.

I saw some other wildflowers as well — starflower, as well as a few new ones: gaywing and wild lily of the valley. There was also one mystery flower.

The forest floor made me wax poetic — a carpet strewn with jewels. Not all of them were plants, either.

All in all quite magical…
