Wild Ginger in Bloom
The flowers have been open for over a week now but you’d never know it unless you looked down between the pairs of fuzzy leafstalks.
Wild Ginger – Asarum canadense
My typical photos of the flowers are a lot like them – usually fuzzy. This time I got a decent focus and surprised myself. My old eyes never saw the ‘fangs’ in the mouth of the flower before.
The flower images are linked to a larger size (1024 x 768) for a closer look. Use them as desktop backgrounds if you like. But if you prefer something slimy wait till you get to the end of the post.
I figured you’d scroll to the bottom to find the icky stuff. Here’s a frog trio that seems to have oozed and fused together.
Yep – click for wallpaper version so you can see the frog in the middle.
