#bishop's cap

[microcosmicobservations]

I hadn't seen Mitella diphylla, or bishop's cap, in a number of years, so I decided to look up on iNaturalist where I could find it in my area. The nearest place to find them was at the university nature preserve, and I was really quite grumpy to have to pay for parking just to go hiking. But as soon as I found the little population of bishop's caps, it was worth it to me. They're so delicate and beautiful.
