The spring wildflower season is just about over, inside Cumberland Park woods in West Lafayette the tree canopy is just about leafed out and much more shaded underneath than before. The most prominent wildflower in the woods here now is the waterleaf (Hydrophyllum). This is Hydrophyllum appendiculatum right at the southeast entrance to Cumberland Park woods. These are the plants that had those light green waterspots in the early spring. These pictures were taken May 20, 2009.

The trees in the background are honey locust trees (Gleditsia triacanthos). Watch out for the thorns on the trunk.

Notice the pokeweed behind the waterleaf flowers.
