\"another<\/a>The weather has been perfect for walking in the woods. I am so fortunate to live in an area where there are so many glorious trails and waterfalls to walk by. Monday through Friday, I drop Mathew off at school and then take a morning walk in the woods with Dylan. I am never disappointed as there is always something new to see. Yesterday was no exception.<\/p>\n

\"Fringed<\/a>Aren\u2019t Fringed Polygala or Gaywings (Polygala paucifolia<\/i>) the sweetest little things?! It always puts a smile on my face when I come across them.\u00a0 It is a small plant that likes to grow in mossy areas. The contrast between the green moss and pink flowers makes it a magical find.<\/p>\n

\"columbine\"<\/a>Wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis<\/i>) love growing in cracks in the rock along the gorge but they also do fine in gardens as well. The flower reminds me of Chinese lanterns. They are five-sectioned, yellow and red, horned flowers that hides its nectar in its long projections; this makes it inaccessible to all but the longest-tongued creatures. It appears that these beautiful flowers were designed with hummingbirds in mind.<\/p>\n

\"Solomon<\/a>I rarely ever come across Solomon\u2019s Seal (Polygonatum <\/em>spp.<\/em>) This one is a very interesting find as the flowers dangling below the stem is in singles, typical Solomon\u2019s Seal flowers dangle in pairs.<\/p>\n

\"Showy<\/a>This one looks very similar to Solomon\u2019s seal but it has an erect flower at the end of its stem. Some call it False Solomon\u2019s Seal but I prefer Showy Solomon\u2019s Seal (Smilacina racemosa<\/em>). When viewed from above, a slight zigzag of the stem between each leaf is noticeable.<\/p>\n
