Did you know I was raised in and still am living in the country and in all my life (nigh-on a half century) I have never seen a Mayapple bloom nor the fruit in real life?
I always forget to keep an eye on the small patches of them to watch for the blooms or fruit.

Thanks for posting these MayApple pictures. And Thanks also adding the info about their toxicity, I've met a lot of folks who don't know that there is a danger there.

I'm glad you like my rain lily picture. I love them, but have yet been successful in keeping them in a flower garden... the wee critters steal the bulbs and move them all over our property each year. lol It's kind of cool to see where they will come up in the yard from year to year, even my husband enjoys this curious aspect of our rain lilies. It's like an Easter egg hunt for them. lol ;)

Wishing you an enchanting day & rest of the week!

How I miss my Umbrella Plant at the family homestead I had to leave. When I was little we transplanted a few from the woods under our dining room window. They spread like crazy! As children, my friends & I would pick then & play umbrella never knowing they were toxic and with no ill results. I do know you can eat the fruit but never tried. This flower is so superb it does not look real. The effect is a waxy looking petal with sculpted centers.
Thankyou for bringing my beloved plant to me this spring.

That's very interesting, I don't think we have this plant in the UK.
Such a pretty flower ^_^

I have never seen this plant before it beautiful! Thanks for sharing the photos!

Hi Allynari,
Yes, I love the May Apples too! They're a very welcome sight in the Springtime. I've also seen them develop into fruit, but I've never had the courage to taste one. Thanks for posting these lovely pictures.
Best wishes for a wonderful Summer,
Judy
