sunnybells, Schoenolirion croceum
"In Just- spring when the world is mud-luscious" e.e.cummings. Then the sunnybells bloom, and bettyandisbel might just come dancing. Sunnybells appreciate that early mud, and then they live fruitful lives in the dry ground of summer. Give them a chance like this utility line clearing and they'll really show us some springtime enthusiasm. Sunnybells grow in AL, FL, GA, LA, NC, SC, TN, and TX. Big Thicket National Park, Hardin Co TX, 4/16/22. Hyacinth family, Hyacinthaceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
