Spring Has Arrived in My Heart, 41 Days Before the Official Calendar Spring...February 4, 2019

The Skunk Cabbage is blooming.


For me, the first day of spring is the day I see the buds on the Spadix inside the Spathe.


And every year I check inside the front cover of  Newcomb's Wildflower Guide to be sure I know a spadix from a Spathe.


Got it.


Next post...more about my walk to the swamp at Brukner Nature Center.

    So glad you have spring! We are having a blizzard, and that is not the DQ kind:(
