It looks like someone glued a weird daisy on top of an Asparagus stalk. You must have waded into the muck to get that great Marsh Marigold shot.

Mr. McGregor’s Daughter,
I never knew how weird coltsfoot were up close. They look like dandelions especially when you’re driving. Lucky for me the Marsh Marigold was only a few steps from the road. I never came close to losing a boot.

I need to get out and about and see what is blossoming in the woods right now. We are a bit further south than you and our county is in a burn ban. It seems terribly dry for late April. <blockquote><em>Debbie, Monday - steady rain. Hope you get your share. Later on Sunday I found Bluets and Pussytoes blooming.

Debbie,
Monday – steady rain. Hope you get your share. Later on Sunday I found Bluets and Pussytoes blooming. Unfortunately the first hatch of Blackflies are now making it miserable outside.

I have a thing for those Trout Lilies .. I wish I could manage some in my tiny garden. The Marsh Marigolds are so bright and pretty too. Even with all of our snow we are going "dry' as well .. some rain ahead but I think the drought will still continue no matter what. Great post ! Your astilbe friend, me !

Joy,
I had hopes of rain but that huge front passing through is breaking up and going around my area again just like last summer. The rain front is at least 50 miles wide and the first 20 of that has vanished as it approaches my area. I’m beginning to believe that a new “Triangle” has formed in the Upper and Lower Lakes Wildlife Refuge near here. Something must be sucking things into another dimension. I know I’m missing stuff I can’t even remember having. Maybe you can go check it out.

Na na na na na na – Tout Lilies are scattered all over my woods. You want some then sneak by and take some. And while you’re in the area why don’t you check out the Refuge for trans-dimensional rifts.
