We found these specimens growing along the path leading from Morris Park Road. The buds are pinkish, we have not seen this before.

Conveniently for us, a Sunday bloom-time estimation this year.  We expect continual blooming of various populations in the area to continue for the next two to three weeks, if all goes well.

The Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) is at this point, well on its way into leafhood.
