Late Spring on Brush Creek

My two brothers who are in from Florida, my sister, dad and I had the opportunity to spend the day out and about. We went to Brush Creek Nature Preserve to see the falls and enjoy a hike on a cool but beautiful day. This is one of my favorite wildflower areas and today did not disappoint. The Dutchman's Pipe Vine is a flower that I had read about but never had seen anywhere. I kept seeing small vines with heart shaped leaves, but no other distinguishing features. Then I saw a small maple draped with it and when I moved some leaves aside to look closer, I saw this amazing bloom
