Plant of the Day

Yellow seems a common colour for spring and the flowers of Caltha polypetala (giant marsh marigold, kingcup) are particularly radiant. This herbaceous perennial thrives in a permanently damp soil and here is growing on the edge of a pond.

Cranberry Glades is a high elevation wetlands complex located in a deep valley cradled by the Yew Mountains, whose cold, draining air creates a natural frost pocket. In some years, the frost-free period in the valley is as short as 81 days. The cool climate allows the sphagnum bogs at Cranberry Glades to support a plant and animal community more typical of Southern Ontario or Maine than the Mid-Atlantic region. Beavers play a key role in shaping the ecology of the Glades; last spring, the industrious rodents succeeded in submerging a section of the boardwalk that loops through one of the bogs. The pond still comes up to the edge of the structure (top photo) and offers up-close interaction with the animals and plants that live in this environment, including the common watersnake (Nerodia sipedon), fire cherry (Prunus pensylvanica), marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), green false hellebore (Veratrum viride); swamp buttercup (Ranunculus septentrionalis); eastern skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus); Canada yew (Taxus canadensis), for which the local mountains are named; and red spruce (Picea rubens), the most important tree in the Central Appalachians and the key to the restoration of the region’s mountain forests following their decimation at the turn of the last century. Cranberry Glades is a short drive off the Highland Scenic Highway and abuts the Cranberry Wilderness, the largest forest service wilderness area in the eastern United States and a state-designated black bear sanctuary.

Symplocarpus foetidus, Eastern Skunk Cabbage, the first flower of spring 2021.
Blooming as early as the beginning of February in most records.
Photographed this one in specific all though there were a few open on the same taverntine formation just because I didn’t want to trudge there to much and the others were less accessible to photograph without breaking the taverntine and the marl. The formations at this specific sight are pretty new due to land use history, the spring houses up on top of the hill are 1890′s and 20′s construction so the original damage was done then and the marl beds haven’t had time to harden fully. The bottom picture is that of marsh marigold leaves growing under the water which is a bit warmer than the surface water year round due to it being spring fed. Caltha palustris <3
I should have decent previous posts explaining the evolutionary mechanisms of these species if you search by genus
