I may not have any posts for the next few days. I’m too old to keep up with my job, garden, photography and blogging. It seems that the most important thing right now is my new granddaughter. Norah Grace was born April 1st. She was 4 weeks early – but she is catching up fast. she is now over 8 pounds and eating quite well.
She is the beautiful flower that I’ll be concentrating on in my spare time.
Keep checking in —— I’ll get more photos posted to Flickr and work on some posts for the blog n the next couple of days.

I have been taking pictures every day of the flowers that bloom in the wooded areas surrounding my new Kentucky home. I found your blog while searching for the name of this particular plant. Any ideas? http://chrissysphotoaday.blogspot.com/2010/04/4-3-10.html (See middle photo). Thanks.
WOW this is a Super photo. That is a most interesting plant. Probably the first to bloom in spring. Eastern Skunk Cabbage – Symplocarpus foetidus
This fantastic plant actually produces its own heat in a very odd exothermic reaction. The leaves appear sometime after the flowers fade. They are called skunk cabbage because the leaves smell much like a skunk when bruised.
