Let's find this elegant plant now beginning to bloom in northern forests around the world. We'll share our photos and reflections here at Chasing Nature.
This! This unifying, interactive celebratory thing that you've so playfully created is simply brilliant and has earned a hearty 'Shit Damn!' from an oldish kid who grew up in a world where those two words were offered as highest praise.
I'm delighted to see how you've bent and shaped the tools provided us here to make something larger and more inclusive. A tip of my hat and my sincere thanks for being such an able teacher.
I couldn't find the photos others have posted, but I way like yours. It gave me a particular pleasure to study the range of this beautiful species and to find it so generously native around the top of the globe. And yes, it's been found in Iowa, too, though not where I live and write, in the southeast corner.
When I was small I called them “spider’s street lamps”.
Love it! In this post, if you scroll down a bit to the Early Meadow-Rue photos, you'll see what we can now call "spider's chandeliers." 😀

I love this, and love Kristen’s haiku.
You sir, are a genius!

Iowa? Really? Wow. I wonder if those records would be transported and transplanted by humans?
