[Magdalen] More weather

[Charles Wohlers]

The ground cover in our woods is trout lilies. We undoubtedly have millions 
of them on our 17-or-so acres of woods. Very few of them actually flower, 
however. Friday I went out to see if any wildflowers were out yet, and take 
pictures if they were. Typically spring wildflowers peak here the second or 
third week of May, and normally none are out in April. However, as you can 
see, I was not disappointed - including the first trout lily of the season:

My brother had a flowering ground cover on one side
of his lawn.  I thought it was attractive and brought
it home (back in Wisconsin) to plant it in my lawn.

My neighbor saw it and cried out in amazement.  The
flowering plant was Creeping Charlie (Glechoma hederacea),
a member of the mint family, and considered a very noxious
weed.  It's nearly impossible to eradicate once established.

He needed have worried.  The rabbits loved it, and ate it
all.
