Honouring Scott Joplin
Compare this maple leaf with the plane leaf in the previous photo. They look very similar, but they are from completely different trees. So how do you tell the difference? By the fallen leaves themselves, with difficulty, but when the leaves are on the tree it's easy. Maple leaves and the shoots themselves always grow in directly opposite pairs along the stem. Plane leaves and shoots grow singly from the stem or branch. Also the bark on plane trees is very distinctive, appearing in two tone mottled patches.

Commonly known as Mapleleaf Alumroot or Hairy Alumroot. These plants are growing all over the top of Grandfather Mountain. As you can see on this image, they like rocky places and often root in crevices along shaded ledges and cliffs. Their flowers are tiny, but certainly were doing their job in attracting pollinators. The bees I saw on it were wearing thick "trousers" of bright red pollen matching the color of the anthers on these plants.
(It will be 200 leaves if I ever get around to making that last one!) These are 3" blocks so it's not going to be a terribly big quilt. This is a paper-pieced pattern from small-expressions.com.
