Flower Spotlight: Eastern Waterleaf

5/25/2016

Eastern Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum L.) is native to our region - also known as Shawnee Salad or Virginia Waterleaf.
Below is the cycle of the waterleaf from March - May. Enjoy!

3/13/2016 - Emerging from its winter slumber the same time as the very first spring flowers.

4/01/2016 - The name waterleaf is derived from its water-like marking on its leaves which you can clearly see here.

4/29/2016 - Blanketing the entire valley floor, the waterleaf blends with the squirrel corn, cleavers, and ginger to create an endless sea of green.

5/9/2016 - The first buds of the waterleaf, note how different the leaves change through the season - the original water-spotted leaves now hide deep under the tall leaves with buds.

5/18/16 - Bursting open like a firework display, the waterleaf's sweet flowers are a treat to bees and passersby who may get to smell the sweet air wafting about the flowers.

Waterleaf comes in white too!
