Today I saw the first bloom of the Mayapple here in West Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park, near the Recycling Center on the bike trail leading to the Strawberry Mansion Bridge.
It is a bit later this year than years in the recent past. The Trout Lilies that were in full bloom last week on the Boxers Trail? Just like that in a flash: Boom! Totally not blooming anymore. Spring is moving along at a fast clip!
