Skunk Cabbage

Just a bunch of green leaves with a funny name? No way! The Skunk Cabbage is a much more interesting plant than that. Here in the woods of northwest Connecticut, it's the surest sign of spring. And, did you know that this plant generates it's own heat? - Nancy Boudreau

Day Old Daylily

I suppose we can call this "Day Old Daylily" as it's a drawing of a spent daylily. Caught it before it's complete collapse, while it's form was still languid. - Nancy Boudreau
