Better Late Than Never

As I prepare for our annual spring botany trip (this year to the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas), I realize that I never posted more photos from Trillium Tromp 2009. After giving an hour-long presentation on spring wildflowers for the South Bend-Elkhart Audubon Society this afternoon, I think I've said enough for one day, so I will let the photos below from our trip to Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia speak for themselves...
