A backyard mass of 250 people, well done!
How 7 families celebrate the South Side Irish Parade, from breakfast with politicos to a backyard mass: blockclubchi.co/4upJDzf
close-up of a flower with seven sightly cupped, white, petal-like sepals (there are no true petals). in the center of the flower there are a dozen or so light green carpels which pale to nearly white at the stigmas at their tops. surrounding the carpels are numerous stamens with yellow anthers atop long, slender white filaments. a cream-green budding flower sits behind the blooming flower in the foreground, along with some reddish-green leaf-like bracts with three shallow lobes and a branching network of lighter veins. a spider is hiding behind one of the bracts, with only a few brown legs exposed.
three blooming flowers facing the sky, each with seven white petal-like sepals curving slightly upwards. in the center of each flower is a cloud of numerous stamens with yellow anthers on long, slender, upward-curving filaments surrounding a cluster of light green carpels. the blooming flowers are accompanied by a couple pale green budding flowers each on their own slender flowerstem sharing a common origin; this node also the anchor for a whorl of leaf-like 3-lobed bracts. below this node, the plant's stem is red. these rue anemones are growing up from among a bed of fallen tree leaves.
the forest floor is blanketed in orange-brown and tan fallen tree leaves, with green shoots and leaves of various plants poking through here and there. in the center of the photo, the white petal-like sepals of three blooming flowers are blindingly bright in the sunlight which pours through the still-leafless forest canopy.

Thalictrum thalictroides
it is a coincidence that these three blooming buttercup-family flowers all happen to have 7 sepals, the number can vary from individual to individual

Amazing

He is such a decent man.
Just found this very helpful guide to how best to handle stems in the garden to benefit native insects. I learned something new from it: cutting stems to a moderate height *the same year they grew, after they go dormant* is actually BETTER than leaving them fully intact. But cutting later, no good.
The students are in my thoughts, and their teachers and families.

This is a tough loss, I am hoping there is healing in the future for each of you. I lost a baby at 17 weeks, it is a painful loss. Cole is a beautiful name and he was surely loved.
