First Signs of Spring are Subtle in the Ozarks

Cheryl Hall Mid-Southern Watercolorists Exhibition 2021 Jack-in-the-Pulpit Arisaema triphyllum

"Inspiration for my art comes from nature and my love of wildflowers. In mid-February through mid-March after a long, cold winter, tiny shoots of green emerge through the leaves on the forest floor. These early emerging plants are known as spring ephemerals. Jack-in-the Pulpit is one of these plants. Ephemerals are short-lived, meaning that these plants need the sun to photosynthesize, grow to maturity, produce seed and return to the soil before the leaves emerge in the canopy. Finding one of these means winter is about over."
