Mayapples and Shamrock against Oak -- Vertical View Mayapples are some of the most interesting of spring plants in the southeast. They pop up like mystical little creatures in the spring and last just a short time. If you peek under the umbrella-like foilage early on in the spring, you'll see a delicate white flower with a creamy yellow center; later on, you'll see a fruit that looks like a little apple. Be careful -- many parts of this plant are poisonous, including the fruit while it is green. Mayapples were used by Native Americans to treat many disorders, and to this day parts of the plant are used to treat cancers. I saw these growing at the base of the oak and just had to capture the contrast in texture of the wildflowers and foilage against the bark of the oak. Matted in black and mounted and ready for your frame. 5 x 7 inch image size matted to 8 x 10 inches Item #bot_0810_mayappleOakV $15.00 8 x 10 inch image size matted to 11 x 14 inches Item #bot_1114_mayappleOakV $24.00
