Susan and all, Have you noticed a yellow fungus -looking growth on many Jack-in-the-pulpits this year? We saw quite a few plants yesterday on the Curtis property in Leeds that were covered with some type of spores. Does anyone know what it is and if it is usually on these plants at this time of the year? I don't think I have noticed it before... Also, the wood ticks are unreal out there - is this a climate change issue? Local long-time residents say they never had ticks when they were growing up. Thanks!
