Mayapple - 20220528-01
(Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) - 20220528-01) The literature says that most mayapple stocks are single, but as we can see in this photo some have 2 split stocks. The single stemmed flowers grow from the axil between the split stock and are generally white, but some are rose or pinkish in color. Each flower is 2-3 inches wide, with 6 light green sepals, 6 to 9 waxy petals, and twice as many stamens with white filaments and yellow anthers.

lamb-right lamb-left Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.  Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion.  It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
