Posted on March 22, 2021March 22, 2021 by larksparrowLexington WMA A bit more cast iron forest this afternoon, not just the garden! Probably a Common Buckeye butterfly caterpillar. Neat shelf fungi on a blackjack oak that has been burned in the past. Spring Beauty flower. Saw just a few! Moss with undeveloped capsules (thanks Jeanne!) Mexican Plums blooming had just a few bees on them. It was windy. Briar helped look for frogs. A round bit of moss. Close up of Mexican Plum flowers. Cardamine sp. (Thanks for ID, Abby!) You can see the leaves/rosette here. Flower of Cardamine sp. There were lots in this damp area. You can see in both pictures some nearby sedges.
I am not familiar with Cardamine species. The grasslands does not have it listed. I will keep an eye out for them. Loading... Reply
