under the unfurled
green umbrellas a single
white blossom curves down
By mid-April the May Apples are in bloom, but you have to peer under the canopy of green umbrellas to see the singular white blossoms sheltered below. Each flower has seven petals, matching the seven lobes of the leaves. The blossom curves down on a slender "neck" between the two upraised "arms" of the pair of leaves, coyly waiting for a pollinator to visit her golden heart.
