Twinleaf -- Jeffersonia diphylla #5 of 5
Calli Nature Preserve, near North Vernon, Jennings County, Indiana.
This is one of those wildflowers that had managed to evade my camera and me for years on end. It is not common here in Indiana, yet it is certainly not rare either. Unlike wildflowers that are universally abundant like spring beauty, twinleaf tends to be very localized in occurrence. It can be found statewide, although it is much more easily found in southern Indiana than in the north. One of its characteristics is that plants in a particular population will go through their flowering cycle very rapidly. If you know of some soon to flower, do not tarry or you will miss them!
