Jack in the Pulpit © 2010 Bo Mackison
Spring is for real when I can walk in the woodlands and see the first wildflowers in abundance. Today on my Sunday hike I counted thousands of trout lilies, a few buttercups, and hundreds of patches of sweet violets, Confederate violets and white violets. I only saw one Jack in the Pulpit. It’s a bit early for the Jacks, but they’ll be covering the woodland floor in another week.
I love these early spring wildflowers.
When I saw just your title I wondered what it would be. I’ve never seen one of those and I’ve always wanted to. They just don’t get this far west but I always watch for them anyway.
I haven’t walked in the woodlands yet to check for the wildflowers. The early spring wildflowers are a pleasure to see; especially the violets. I haven’t seen a Jack in the Pulpit.
They are so beautiful..and a little more of a rarity than something you see everyday. Wonderful image!!!
Ooo…makes me homesick for my favorite wildflower area, Giant City State Park. I haven’t found just the right spot here in Nashville yet, but I will.
One of my favs (my big fav are Trillium – any yet?)
Never had the pleasure of seeing one of these lovelies in the wild – only in our Botanical Garden! This is quite a photo!
Sounds like quite a delightful hike, seeing all of that beauty. And you’ve captured such a lovely and rare discovery in this shot.
