| It wasn't until I was down on the ground, photographing
another species of wildflower, that I realized I was in the midst of wild
ginger. The flower itself is only seen at ground level. In
other words, get down on your hands and knees if you want to view a most
interesting plant.
Wild ginger blooms at the same time as many other Iowa
wildflowers -- a time that causes a flora enthusiast to ask: "Which flower
should I enjoy next?"
