I haven't noticed any in the woods as I drive, but most likely I should go out for a bike ride to find them. <br /><br />Love the violet photo.

BB, sorry about your dogwood festival: Mackinac Island's Lilac Festival runs the risk every year of not yet having blossoms. Impossible to predict very far ahead. People call from other states to ask when the cherry orchards will be blooming. Who knows???<br /><br />Gerry, the spring beauties in the woods this morning were all closed up under an overcast sky, as were trillium (trillia?), but by this afternoon many happy trillium blossoms were opening their faces to the sun. There is something else blooming in the woods, too--I mean, apart from trillium, spring beauties, violets and troutlily. Maybe it is toothwort? I think it is toothwort. It looks edible (mustard family), and I am contemplating picking a little for a spicy salad addition.P. J.

But Rob the Firefighter is here, and we're going out to lunch. That means Life Is Good.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
