Jack-in-the-pulpit
Joyce requested this photo. Here's Jack. He grew a couple of inches since yesterday, so I guess he isn't a baby anymore. I noticed flowers on one of the young buckeye trees this morning. The parent tree next door was cut down a couple of years ago, but there are quite a few young trees and seedlings in the woods that are thriving without the honeysuckle overgrowth.Labels: nature, wildflowers, woodland, woods

Glad to see things coming to life again up north! I've always loved the shape of the jack in the pulpit.
You're probably familiar with Georgia O'Keeffe's series of Jack-in-the-pulpit paintings. There are lots of them on the web. Google Images to see them. They're amazing!
Thanks for the photo of the jack. I don't know whether or not we have them here, but I will keep my eyes open now that I know what to look for.
