Those little flowers crack me up every time I see them. Do you see it to? Or is it just me? Small puppets with big mouth sticking their tongue out?
Now listen....
Wasssuuuuppppp Barry?
Wassuuupppp Tod?
Those are called Arisarum simorrhinum. Quite a common wildflower around here that blooms in winter and early spring. The boom is maybe 4 cm long with another few cm for the stem. Not big, but the their look is enough to like them.
They will grow those big, green leaves and cover large areas. In moister areas the flowers are often hidden among them (photos below), but there can be hundredths of them! In sunnier spots (like the ones above) the leaves will die back sooner and grow smaller. When the weather properly heats up the plant will go dormant. They will produce a little potato that stays deep in the soil and waits for the next season.
All photos were taken in my local park when I went to catch some mushrooms.
Song for tonight :)
Following yesterday's post, we stay with Massive Attack and one of my most fav songs of that band.
Headphones on, volume up, enjoy!
