What's this umbrella-like weed, Central Ohio
http://home.att.net/~rhhardin5/w30.jpg Does it put out a flower eventually, or am I watching them in vain? -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

It's perennial and single-leaf plants won't bloom this year. When old enough and strong enough, the plant will send up a 2-leaf stem, with one flower between them. |

You've got a very nice wildflower there, not a weed at all. Mayapple, Podophyllum peltatum. To find the flower, look for the plants with two leaves (there seem to be several in the photo that might do), and look from the side... the flowers are borne where the "leaf stems" form a V. Later in the year, look for the fruit, which are green and sort of egg shaped, and hang down: http://www.redpath-museum.mcgill.ca/...s/mayapple.htm http://www.life.umd.edu/emeritus/rev...W/flowers.html (search the page for "Podophyllum") http://www.kansasnativeplants.com/podo-pelt.html Nice writeup on ethnobotany: http://www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/mayapple.htm -- NewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth |
