Feast for partridges... and people
I'm not sure that partridges, which, I suppose, are more commonly encountered in Pear Trees than on the ground, ever actually eat the red berries that will result when the small vine's gorgeous flowers are pollinated, but somehow Mitchella repens got its popular name and the rest, as they say, is horticultural, botanical, and ornithological history. But whether the partridge ever ingests partridge berries or not, the blossoms are glories to behold, and since they're just started to bloom, I know I'm going to be spending a lot of time on my belly, macro lens and supplemental lights in hand, to try my best to capture the mini-flower-show. It's well worth the effort... and the extra laundry.
