Book excerpt: Excerpt from Park's Floral Magazine, Vol. 45: June, 1909 We now pass the bog where the neat green spears of Fleur-de-lis are pointing upward, and by one of the big Elms I see you all gather in admiration. No wonder! At the base of the tree are masses of Spring Beauty, hugging it close, and entirely surrounding it, forming a band a foot or more across. How beautiful! The_ thousands of waxy pink-striped petals, Supported by two little sepals, and enclosing the pistil and the delicate pink stamens! The plants have been blooming for some time, and are be coming long, and prostrate, but new buds in all stages of development are showing. We will dig some up, and see the little tubers from which they spring. Every flower forms a lit tle seed-pod, and the seeds dropping each season afford a ready means of propagation. It is one of the charming little flowers We love to It is a Purs lane, and the {stems and leaves are rather fleshy, as the Portulaca and Calandrinia, its near relatives. Its botanical name is Claytonia Virginica, given in honor of John Clayton, one of the early botanists of Virginia. Those showy clumps of broad, green leaves are Skunk Cabbage. The flowers appeared in February, and have long since faded. They are interesting and 'handsome as bog plants, and deserve a place in every aquatic garden.
