First steps?

  

Ah ha!  It was tucked low among the grasses, but I spotted my first Footsteps-of-spring (Sanicula arctopoides) starting to flower on 16 January 2024.

  1. Is that earlier than normal?

  2. Hi, Carolyn!

    It does seem like this is on the early side. I most often think of them in March, but I have some photos from February as well as some from late January in previous years. I think 16 January is likely an early date for me, but I'd be interested in hearing about other observations!

    Maybe some of the rains in the fall/early winter triggered some early growth?
