I used to know the exact name of this thing, but no longer! I guess I'll have to pull out the plant books again.

Regardless, it's been a very long winter, and it was exciting to see this. We almost missed it - it was so pale and ephemeral looking in the dead grass. But a sign of hope nevertheless. April 10, Good Friday.
