Down by the riverside

Promissory notes.

Huckleberry flowers. If there are pollinators, there will be red berries in mid-summer.

Early shoots of red elderberry. A fast grower; the white flowers will be along in short order.

Cow parsnip has a lot of growing to do, big flower heads to build.

Another salmonberry flower, with a couple of buds. Will the berries be orange or red? Check back later.

The first flower buds of miners' lettuce, aka spring beauty, soon to line the trails with a dusting of white stars.

Promesas ...
  1. Las flores de arándanos rojos (huckleberry, Vaccinium parvifolium). Si se  presentan los insectos polinizadores, habrá bayas rojas a medio verano.
  2. Las primeras hojas de saúco rojo (Sambucus racemosa). Este arbusto se desarrolla rapidamente; pronto aparecerán las flores blancas, seguidas en poco tiempo por las bayas rojas.
  3. La pastinata de vaca, Heracleum maximum, es una planta bastante grande; hasta estos primeros brotes son grandes, las umbelas de flores blancas también lo serán.
  4. Otra flor de salmonberry. Las frutillas serán o rojas o anaranjadas.
  5. Los primeros botoncitos de Claytonia sibirica, "la lechuga del minero". Las flores en poco tiempo pintarán los bordes del camino de blanco.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
