West Virginia Spring Woods Have Many Attractions

Fringed polygala (Gaywings)

 Turkey Season is just another excuse to get into the West Virginia Spring woods. This could be why I don't get many turkeys. (or trout, deer, fish and etc)
I'm just enjoying being out. This was the first time in these woods in the spring and they help many spring ephemerals. The first was Gaywings a plant with unique fringed parts which are the key to opening the flower for pollinators.
