This member of the Lily family began its bloom a little before Christmas, and Slinkpods are still putting up their short-lived blooms. Craig Tooley found a nice group of them. Look at the emerging leaves, two for each plant. When they are fully grown, the blooms are long gone. The flowers are quite small and hard to find in the forest duff, but what a treat when you do find them!

Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is the link to his website: http://www.ruffimage.com

Another beautiful, calm, sunny day today. Clouds moved in this afternoon making for a beautiful sunset.
