sharp-lobed hepatica at Lake Meyer Park IA 854A3738
Several hepatica plants were in bloom today at Lake Meyer Park. These lovely flowers have light pink sepals rather than petals (which are totally absent). Sepals serve to protect the developing flower in the bud stage, and you can see where several got burned brown as they surrounded their precious centers during last week's freezing temperatures.
