Flowers and Donkeys of the Cornell Arboretum

Daisies have bloomed in clusters all over the Cornell Arboretum. 


These flowers are springing up all over the Arboretum, but I have not identified them yet. 


In certain areas, patches of daisies mingled with these purple flowers. 


This flower appears to be Bloodroot. 


This Japanese Skunk Cabbage is flowering along the Cayuga Trail. 


Unfortunately, these flowers tend to droop, so they are difficult to observe straight-on. 


This plant seems ideally suited for collecting raindrops. 


Does the storage of these droplets serve any purpose? 


Several of these flowers were growing along the creek near Forest Home Drive. 


These flowers, in mid-bloom, appear to be some different, although related, variety. 


Blackjack was immediately interested in my presence at the McConville Barn. 


Once we got to know each other, I obliged in offering him some fresh grass. 


After feeding Blackjack, I returned to my Jeep, which was parked on the other side of Dryden Rd.
