Eliza Waters 
Reblogged this on The Militant Negroโข.
Thank you for reblogging! ๐
This is so refreshingly soothing! ๐
Thank you, Isha!
Lovely lighting and bokeh!
Thank you, Belinda. Love that long twilight!
We often see the leaves, but rarely the flower. Great shot!
Thank you. The setting sun illuminated them perfectly!
Stunning! I’ve never seen it before but will now have to keep an eye out for it! Do you know if they grow this far north?
Thank you, Joanna. Yes, they grow up into Canada. They need specific soil conditions (fungi), and can form large colonies.
That is a beautiful flower. I’m not sure that I’ve seen it in real life. A Mayapple? Thank you for sharing this beautiful photo. Made a great start for my Sunday ๐
Thank you, Maria. It is predominantly an eastern US native woodland plant.
Thatโs probably why ๐ very beautiful
Thanks!
So pure and fresh! I can almost hear the birds singing in the background ๐
Thank you, Frank. Isn’t spring grand? ๐
So lovely, Eliza…
Thank you, Julie. Happy Sunday!
Silent beauty
Thank you!
Pretty and calm – a great way to start Sunday (though considering how much I’ve already done today, I don’t think it’s really the start to my day).
Thank you, Sarah. Maybe a bit of calm before the next storm? ๐
How’s the garden coming? Maybe Choppy can pose next to some flowers, or better yet, balance a vase on her head…or maybe not!
Everything is in, as of this morning! I do have two pots left to plant, but I don’t have anything for them yet, so I’m counting it as finished (they’re also two relatively easy ones to plant, so once I find what I want, I can take care of them before or after work). Now, I just obsessively check my plants to see if they’ve grown at all.
Yay!
Such a beautiful capture & flower…you must have been on your belly to take that! Maybe 6 years ago, I saw the very unusual leaves of Mayapple, in woods near here…took me hours on the computer to find out what it was…now every year we look for the plants…only a few there.
Thank you, Alice. Apparently, they have a symbiotic relationship with a specific fungi, which enables them to thrive. I had a few that I bought and never did much over a decade, then all of a sudden, a couple years ago, they became more vibrant and started to spread. Having just learned about this fungi, it seems to explain why.
Maybe 6 plants total…some on each side of the path. I think only one flower per plant…and one fruit. Never noticed them anywhere else. Yesterday 92ยฐ here, now 55ยฐ !
I know, isn’t this weather crazy? I’m liking the down time a rainy day provides. ๐
Just lovely ๐
Thank you, Angela!
Beautiful, love the delicate green light
Thank you, Karina. ๐
Not something you see here! Lovely!
Thank you, Kris. Yes, not drought tolerant as far as I know. ๐
Beautiful; also, I am borrowing your idea lol, I really like your Wordless Wednesdays and Silent Sundays, and since I tend to write some very long pieces three times a week, I decided to cut those down to two per week and make Fridays a single photo, no words, because I need a break from the writing, and I suspect my readers need a break too lol. I just want to say thanks for both the visual expressiveness of your own photos and the great idea for a nice “take a break” point every week.
Thank you kindly, Cherilyn! I started doing the same a couple of years ago for the same reason and it has become a habit, lol! I like the simplicity and everyone enjoys a moment of beauty, right? ๐
I know I do, especially on Fridays, after a long week, and right before a weekend is a good choice for where I tend to pull the most viewers.

A sun-brella ๐
Of sorts! ๐
Mayapples tend to be abundant in my neck of the woods. They are very unique. I’ve even seen a recipe for mayapple jelly, but haven’t tried it.
Yes, I’ve heard that the fruit is edible, though acidic. Since the plant is poisonous, I’m always hesitant to experiment!
Perfect for a silent sunday.. As though lying low, looking within to gather all the energy for a busy week ahead.
Thank you, glad you found it restful. ๐
Beautiful light, flower, and bokeh. There’s such a sense of serenity to this image, Eliza. Wonderful. ๐ I miss Mayapples. I’m not sure if we have them here on the Eastern Shore or not. Perhaps a little more inland. I’ll have to look next time we go to one of the inland state parks. We had them all over the place in NE Ohio.
Thank you, Robin. Twilight is so nice this time of year.
Loveliness!
Thank you, Laurie. ๐
i love the dappled light on this dainty bloom โค
Thank you, Kim!
Such peaceful beauty!
Thank you, Fi!
Another beautiful photograph!
Thank you!
Gorgeous! I should check to see if mine are blooming yet.
Thank you, Indie. I would expect they would be, as you’re not far from me. Since they are hidden by the big umbrella leaves, you really have to search them out!
Now I know what a May Apple is, although it is still a flower at this point. Thanks Eliza!
Thank you, Hien!
Very delicate!
Thank you, Maria!
