5-7 Herb Robert

5-7
Herb Robert is opening an occasional flower.
The large showy pink-lined bud scales of Shagbark Hickory look surprisingly flower-like.
ANd the fungus known as Dryad's Saddle, AKA Pheasant's Back - is at its best. It is said to smell and taste of watermelon rind and the tender edges can be pickled, sauteed or fried … or so I've heard.
