putty root found at sweet briar college, va. the campus has at least 8 nature preserves and areas in and around it. we only had time to check out part of one.
directly under the stem is the dried up leaf, very hard to see. the leaf is present in the fall/winter and then fades before the flowers open
used a flash to bring out the colors

later will add some pics of tipularia leaves a bit faded
