April Flowers of the Catskill Woodlands

Background graphic Tattered Vintage No. 187

I wish I had a good wildflower book so I can tell you about my "pretty pinks".

I thought it might be Hepatica, but the leaves don't match the ones I saw on the Web.

Even if I traversed my 14 acres of mountainside woods I'd only collect enough to fill a matchstick cup,

so I 'pick not a one' (Edna St. Vincent-Millais).

They often grown right on top or through cracks in rock!

Until next time, stay shabby!
