Deborah, No wild flowers in Maine? That far north I don't know nuttin' but I bet the woods are full of spring ephemerals in Maine in --what--- May? Kendall would know. I know from West Virginia south, it won't be long at all before the woods are full of toothworts, spring beauties, trout lilies, mayapple, bloodroot, wood anemones, assorted violets and field pansies. I admit, few of these delicate flowers jump and shout "Hallelulah" becasue they are so small and close to the ground. but they are so lovely and delicate in their soft shades of blue, pink and palest yellow.

Do lupines grow wild in Maine?

Spring in North Carolina is an absolutely splendid time of year. It is in spring that I understand why they call this place 'the southern part of heaven.' Spring starts early here--much earlier than Maine, I guess!

Giok, Becca, et.al. May this spring be full of new green and soft days for you.
