This time of year, early spring, is an exciting time in the Appalachians. The trees have yet to sprout fully formed leaves. The sunlight, trickling down through the bare branches to the forest floor, invites tiny plants to pop out of the soggy dirt and lift their small, yet colorful, flowers to the sky. Soon the trees will soak up all the sun's energy leaving little light for these tiny plants. They only bloom for a short time, so one must enjoy the sight.
