Do you know coltsfoot? I hadn’t seen in until recently. The plant grows oddly, without leaves, and low to the ground, kind of like a mushroom. It is one that has been used medicinally in the past, but I will let you read about that here, since I don’t want to suggest that anyone use it for that reason.
With the warm weather and sun this week, the buds on the trailing arbutus, or mayflowers, have quickly turned to blossoms. I can tell I am getting older, this is the first year I did not bend down to smell them when I took photographs.
