Sad, Sad, Sad. This is Virginia Bluebells, Mertensia virginica. Formerly common throughout the bottomlands of the Mid-Atlantic region. Now Bluebell land has more and more become Lesser Celandine land...and invader from the old world that simply wipes out the vernal communities of plants along streams and rivers. The loss of this habitat means the loss of a host of bee species that depend only on these bottomland flowers. Difficult to control, Celandine, just simply takes over bottomlands and like the Zombie Apocalypse all you are left with afterwards is a shell that appears to be alive, but actually...is not. Makes my fingers sad just typing this. This picture was taken by Helen Lowe Metzman Native Plant Champion. Lovely isn't it all those shades of pink to blue, too bad your children will only see it in gardens. 00:48, 1 July 2017 (UTC)00:48, 1 July 2017 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}00:48, 1 July 2017 (UTC)00:48, 1 July 2017 (UTC) All photographs are public domain, feel free to download and use as you wish.
