Today's picture/Easter in May

In my book report on Miracles on Maple Hill, I mentioned that I learned something new about the bloodroot plant. The name of the plant in bud is "Easter candles."

All over the ground around her were great green leaves, each with a cleft in the side. Up through each cleft came a long thin stem, and on top of each stem stood a pointed bud exactly like a candle flame

When I went out today, I was thrilled to see I hadn't missed them.
