Spicebush in Spring to Berries in Autumn

Right now, the beginning of spring, if you’re in the right place in the woods you’ll be surrounded by Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) in bloom. The woods appear to have been painted by a water color artist. A thin wash of butter yellow extending far into the distance.

As the weeks move along leaves will appear, emerald green.

Emerald green leaves, the perfect accent for scarlet berries come autumn.
