Quite a lovely place to look for native wildflowers! The trail used to be a towpath near the Rappahannock River for a canal that faded away when the railroad came. The area has recovered nicely. #NativePlants #Mayapple #virginia

I know of only two patches of Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) within walking distance—one being right behind my house. They are one of the first plants to pop up each spring, their distinctive leaves like umbrellas. I finally got photos of the flowers this year!

Behold the mayapple, Podophyllum peltatum, American mandrake. It may have "apple" in the name, but don't eat it--it is poisonous (though it also has medicinal uses--just don't snack on it!) #wildflowers #Mayapple #mandrake

#Mayapple, #Podophyllum peltatum. Cellphone snap. They’ve taken three years but are finally established enough to bloom!

I learned about the mayapple plant, podophyllum peltatum, yesterday, when I found a little patch in a nature reserve near me. The most surprising thing about these plants to me is that they have these cool looking flowers hidden under the big leaves. Anyone know if there is a reason the flowers aren't more visible? I thought usually plants want the flowers to be easy to find so they can be pollinated.
