I really needed a good fairy tale right about now and you tell it beautifully! Thank you! <br /><br />I have never seen a "Dutchman's Breeches although I think they are one of the most enchanting flowers. We have bleeding hearts - a close relative here in the Pacific Northwest and they are in full bloom. My wild ginger hasn't opened yet! What a treat to see yours.pam@gingerbreadsnowflakes.comhttp://gingerbreadsnowflakes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242093056074680020.post-39595893473790281142009-04-30T07:29:00.000-05:002009-04-30T07:29:00.000-05:00You know, I always wondered what the ramps that Ra...You know, I always wondered what the ramps that Rapunzel's mother craved were. My mom put me off by saying they were like dandelion greens....I knew people who ate those, so that made sense. (except there's so many dandelions....why would one need to climb a witch's wall?)<br /><br />Lovely spring wildflower post. Now I'll have to go for a walk to look for the wild ginger.
