Look who else is blooming in the park.  Mayapples.  I didn't need SEEK to identify this.  If you've ever seen Mayapples, you know what their name is.  Let's look into it further and see what else we can find.

 

Podophyllum peltatum, botanically.  Mayapples, commonly.  Mayapples grow in colonies, and stand about 1 - 1 1/2 inches tall.  First you see the huge green leaves acting like umbrellas;  then look underneath and you'll see the flowers.  Each set of leaves has just one white flower, nodding underneath.  They kinda look like apple blossoms.  All parts of the plant are poisonous, so just look, DO NOT EAT.  But do look and enjoy, they are definitely a happy sign of spring.

 

HAPPY GARDENING !!!
