Virginia Barlow2020-04-29 15:32:382020-05-06 16:39:34Two-leaved toothwort (Cardamine diphylla) and cut-leaved toothwort (Cardamine concatenate) sometimes grow close together, causing a person to wonder why they bother to have two different species. The leaves of both of these spring ephemerals will turn a lovely autumnal yellow and die soon after trees leaf out.

Virginia Barlow2020-04-28 15:32:002020-05-06 16:39:40There’s an enormous patch of wild leeks not far from our house. You could pick those leeks for hours with no remorse. Not often the case and, besides, it’s probably not a good idea to eat them by the bushel.

Virginia Barlow2020-04-25 15:30:172020-05-06 16:40:00Most tree buds are still just buds, but they are a little fatter. Red berried elderberry, on the other hand, now has quite big leaves.
