They enjoyed the beauty of the early spring flowers: hepatica, spring beauty and trilliums in bud. |
Using histochemical and cytophotometric methods, enzymes responsible for the membrane transport in the developing sporocyst of Fasciola hepatica were studied. |
On this day, the first hepatica buds were poking through the leaf mat, and some were opening into startlingly light-blue flowers. |
We look for bloodroot and hepatica to follow arbutus, and yet I have on occasion found bluets several weeks in advance of these. |
What are visible now are grey-green curled leaves close to the ground, covered with down, the size of a hepatica leaf. |
Benjamin Cook said hepatica, bloodroot and red berried elder tended to show the strongest trends toward earlier flowering. |
