Pink, white, and purple dame's rocket flowers blanket the sides of a dirt path, with dark green leafy trees behind

Bright yellow swamp irises cover the ground with dark green leafy trees behind

Bright yellow swamp iris with others out of focus behind

Bright yellow swamp irises cover the ground with tall tree trunks behind

A field of bright yellow swamp irises and their deep green stalks

Green and red jack in the pulpit viewed from the side

Back of a green striped jack-in-the-pulpit among fern and dying trillium

stretch fragile petal

essence of self hides within

life is tenuous
