This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on April 11, 2006). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.
Since I’m not babbling much at the moment (work and school keep me busy, I’m behind in my reading and keeping up with news, and I’m spending a lot of my free time either with Prairie or taking pictures), I figure I can at least (try to) post a picture a night before I go to bed.
We’ll see how long I manage to do this regularly. ;)

What you have here is the double form of Kerria japonica. Local plant expert Jessica Amanda Salmonson has some info on the plant.
