What is it Wednesday: April 24, 2019




Can you identify what's in this photo?


Each Wednesday morning 
on Camp Lutherlyn's Facebook page
 the Lutherlyn Environmental Education Program posts a photo. 


Readers have all morning and afternoon 
to make their best guess about what the photo is. 

Around 6 pm LEEP provides the answer and a brief explanation.


Each week's What is it Wednesday post 
will also be posted on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog, 
 after it is posted on Facebook,
sometimes with additional bonus information. 

In addition to bringing you current editions of What is it Wednesday 
on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog, 
we will be reposting old editions,
creating a What is it Wednesday archive. 

This photo was posted as a What is it Wednesday on

And the answer is....



This lovely wildflower is trout lily. It is another one of the spring ephemerals, which bloom for a short time before the forest floor is shaded by the full foliage of trees. It isn’t one of the earliest, but it is one of the fanciest looking!
